(principal component analysis) and AHP (analytic hierarchy process) are adopted
to evaluate the level of low-carbon economic development in Shenzhen. The facts
prove that Shenzhen’s
low-carbon economic development level has formed certain foundation with up
tendency in various indicators. Finally, the authors propose suggestions and
strategies for developing low-carbon economic development for city of Shenzhen.
