Book excerpt: In recent years, with global economic development and population growth, environmental issues have become increasingly prominent. Climate change and energy crisis have become global problems that restrict human development, and so need to be solved urgently. As a comprehensive economic development model, the low-carbon economy can greatly reduce energy and resource consumption, mitigate and adapt to climate change, promote economic development, and thus achieve the goal of sustainable development. Therefore, exploring efficient paths toward sustainable development through carbon reduction is an urgent and challenging research topic currently. This Research Topic aims to conduct scientific research and exchange from the perspectives of clarifying the drivers behind carbon reduction, investigating the synergistic mechanism between the low-carbon economy and sustainable development, and then exploring the pathways to low-carbon development. Through comprehensive research and comparative analysis of the relationship between low-carbon economy and sustainable development, we will verify the feasibility of innovations and updates of carbon reduction applications for sustainable development; provide scientific strategies in terms of low-carbon economy for sustainable development; design technical routes and propose corresponding policy recommendations.
