Key driving forces on the development of low carbon city (LCC) in China

Developing low carbon city (LCC) has been widely appreciated as the key strategy for achieving emission mitigation goal. Despite the impact factors on cities’ carbon emission reduction have been extensively studied in recent years, little attention has been paid to investigating the key driving forc...
