Abstract:By examining China’s representative lowcarbon policies in the last 22 years based on coword analysis method, the frame of lowcarbon policies in China is virtually displayed through multidimensional scaling analysis. It is found that at present, China lowcarbon policies can be divided into categories such as lowcarbon industrial policy, lowcarbon fiscal and taxation policy, lowcarbon industry financial policy, carbon emission trading policy and patent policy, but among which there are structural imbalance. Lowcarbon industrial, fiscal and taxation policies are the core of the current lowcarbon policies system, however, in which there is strong administrative guidance which is prone to cause policy failure. Lowcarbon industry financial policy and carbon emission trading policy are too weak to cause structural absence of policy instruments. The core of patent policy is not clear due to the functional absence of policy instruments.
