Abstract:

The feature of the low-carbon economy is to build up an economic system depending on low-energy consumption and low-carbon emission. Under the circumstance that the resources are comparatively limited, it has become a practical proposition to solve the contradiction between economic growth and resources constraint. Firstly, the paper reviews the relevant domestic and international researches about economic growth and resources constraint. And then it points out that the current economic development in China is growing rapidly at a high consumption of resources. The paper probes into the hidden high energy consumption illustrated from energy. As the largest developing country in the world, China is undertaking the historical mission of completing industrialization in the current stage, while in turn leading to an increasing dependence on energy. Therefore, achieving the high efficiency in the use of resources is a necessary choice. The paper proposes that technical innovation and optimization of resources allocation are the only ways to maintain the economic growth in China under the condition of resources constraint in this low-carbon age.

Key words: low carbon age, economic growth, resources constraint
