conservation area, but also has rich natural resources and environmental
conditions. Therefore, the western China must vigorously develop green low
carbon economy to realize the win-win of natural ecological environment
protection and socio-economic development. At present, the western China has
not only great potential in technology progress, industrial upgrading and
energy saving and emission reduction, but also has good endowment conditions
and comparative advantages in the development of agricultural carbon
sequestration, eco-tourism and clean energy development. Therefore, the western
region in China should make full use of these advantages to promote low carbon
economy development. At the present stage, the western China should actively
promote industrial upgrading and structural optimization, comprehensively implement
natural ecological protection engineering, reasonably develop and utilize
mineral resources, fully utilize renewable
clean energy resources, promote eco-tourism, give priority to organic
ecological agriculture, and accelerate urbanization and urban ecology-oriented
development.
