Since the reform and opening-up in 1978, China’s economy has been growing for decades. At the same time, the total energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are increasing, which cause the dual pressure of energy supply and ecological environment. With the development of technology, the adjustment of energy consumption structure, and the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, China has put great efforts on the increasing of energy efficiency and decreasing of fossil energy consumption, which results in the decline of carbon intensity and the gradual decoupling of China’s economic growth and carbon emissions. It is significant to study the main reasons for the decoupling between China’s economic growth and carbon emissions, and to discuss the measures for the decoupling is momentous for exploring a green, low-carbon and sustainable development path for future in China.
