지속가능한 발전을 위한 중국 에너지 정책 연구

Abstract

China’s energy industry has developed very well in the past 50 years following the establishment of new economic policies. With the evolution of China’s energy policy, there have also been tremendous problems that are worth of researching. Along with the reinforcement of the status of China’s energy industry over these years, there have been a bunch of studies on the history of the development of China’s energy industry. However, while most of them have emphasized the development and construction of the energy industry, research that focuses on the relations between energy policy and sustainable development is still lacking. Especially since China has been facing the serious environmental problems as the high-speed economic development, its significance has become more evident. As many problems such as environmental pollutions have drawn many Chinese people's attention and made them feel concerned. Because environmental problems are related to everyone's quality of life. However, the use of energy is one of the biggest reasons why the environment is polluted so seriously in China nowadays. Sustainable development is considered as one of China's basic state policies. It is very crucial to protect the integrity of ecosystem for achieving sustainable development. Energy policy can lead the use of energy, including adjusting the energy's structure and protecting the environment, which shows high research value. This paper focuses on this innovative topic, which has gained much attention recently, and discusses the relations between energy policy and sustainable development. In addition, it provides some constructive advice that will contribute to future energy policy-making based on sustainable development.
