Abstract

This paper analyzes China's exploration and practice on the green development road since the 18^th Communist Party of China National Congress, and points out that China has made great progress and remarkable achievements on green development, including economic structure, energy utilization, ecological environmental protection, green industry, life-style, institutional system and contribution to the global. In the future, China's green development should take carbon reduction as the key strategy, coordinate and promote the synergistic effect of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, optimize the development and protection pattern of territorial space, promote the high-quality development of energy, strengthen the innovation and application of key technologies, and continue to deepen the reform of ecological civilization system.

Key words
