Low-carbon economic structure evolution for sustainable development of Western China

Abstract

With economic development and the change of economical structure, structural evolution of economical system is an inevitable trend especially in lowcarbon environment.This paper study the economical structure considering the environment, economic and social requirements in order to implement low-carbon development combining multi objective planning techniques, chance-constrained model under fuzzy random environment. Then setting energy-saving, economic growth, and laborer's employment as the goals. After comparing the simulation result of three different schemes, we conclude that the type of economical structure directly determine carbon dioxide emissions. It will significantly reduce the energy consumption and environmental pollution through adjusting the economic structure using our model. Finally, we proposed policy recommendations according to the situation based on the research results of our model. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
