This book employs a systematic and multi-faceted approach to explore China's coal consumption, emissions, and its development model. The book first provides an overview of the global and Chinese energy consumption trends and mix, with a particular focus on the position and role of coal. Through comparative analysis, it clarifies the importance of coal in global and Chinese energy security. It details the environmental problems arising from coal consumption, especially carbon dioxide and other harmful gas emissions, and their impacts on global climate change and human health. By collecting and analyzing extensive data, such as coal consumption volumes and carbon dioxide emission levels, the book presents the historical trends and current status of China's coal consumption and emissions. The book conducts comparative study on China and global policies related to coal consumption control and clean energy development, providing insights and lessons for China. It explores the development model of technologies such as clean and efficient coal utilization, renewable energy, and carbon capture and storage (CCS), assessing their potential to reduce coal consumption and emissions.

This book estimates terrestrial vegetation carbon sequestration data based on remote sensing satellite data, collects the temporal and spatial characteristics of carbon sequestration by vegetation at county level and grid scale in China, and predicts the future change of carbon sequestration by vegetation in China. Based on the major strategic development goals and specific practices of China's carbon neutrality, this book shifts the research perspective from the side of carbon reduction to the weaker side of carbon sequestration. It not only broadens and enriches the research boundaries and theoretical connotation in the field of carbon neutrality, but also provides a perspective reference for further research on carbon sequestration by vegetation, which has pioneering academic value for future research on carbon dioxide. The satellite data is collected to calculate China's long time series and multi-type district and county vegetation carbon sequestration data set, which can meet different research needs and application scenarios. The practical value lies in providing basic data for the research of carbon neutrality, the establishment of carbon trading market and the calculation of vegetation carbon sink, and providing an important reference index for evaluating the ecological and environmental effects of land change. This book combines remote sensing technology, Geographic Information Science (GIS), spatial visualization technology and index decomposition technology to measure vegetation carbon sequestration in counties and districts of China, reveals the spatial-temporal dynamic change process of vegetation carbon sequestration, and explores the driving influence of social factors.

This book aims to integrate multiple disciplinary such as management, economics, and geography from the perspective of resource science and also to strengthen research on resource management to promote sustainability in natural resources. It established clear definition of natural resources and in-depth exploration of main fields such as water resources, land resources, and agricultural resources. Classic methods of economics are applied to solve the problems of resource consumption, environmental pollution, and climate change in modern society. On the basis of classical economics, the disciplinary system of environmental and natural resources is further developed. It is a helpful reference for readers to further study natural resources and environmental economics.

This book focuses on the evaluation, coordination, and effects of China’s natural resource utilization. By adopting both quantitative and qualitative analyses, this book objectively evaluates the spatial distribution characteristics and coupling relationship of China’s natural resource utilization based on the status quo and prominent problems during resource utilization. Moreover, the environmental, economic, and price fluctuation effects of China’s natural resource utilization are discussed. Finally, current policy systems for efficient utilization of natural resources in China and abroad are provided, which suggest a way for China to achieve efficient utilization of natural resources through an appropriate policy mechanism. This book aims to seek the balance the utilization of natural resources and sustainable development in China. It puts forward a new paradigm of natural resource utilization by incorporating the efficiency evaluation, coordination measures, and effect mechanisms of different kinds of natural resources. The evaluation system and related research methods for the efficient utilization of natural resources are very mature, laying a foundation for the development of this book’s content. As the conservation of natural resources is widely accepted, this book helps readers understand how to achieve efficient natural resource utilization in China. Meanwhile, the study of resource utilization in China can provide insights for other countries.

This book makes an in-depth study of China’s natural resource regulatory system including theoretical basis, development process, asset accounting, ownership reform, system structure, legal safeguard and policy implications.

This book makes an in-depth study of China’s natural resource regulatory system including theoretical basis, development process, asset accounting, ownership reform, system structure, legal safeguard and policy implications. China is a big country with vast natural resource. Improving the supervision system of natural resources and enhancing the supervision capacity of natural resources have become the top priority of China's economic and social development. This book focuses on how to establish an optimized, coordinated and efficient natural resource regulatory system in China and aims to improve China’s natural resource regulatory system. By combing through the process of historical change, analyzing resource accounting and pricing methods and studying the realization and reform of property rights, this book discusses China’s current problems in the process of natural resource regulation and then proposes solutions and implementation paths as a reference for the construction of the Chinese natural resource regulatory system. People who are interested in natural resource regulation could find something useful in this book.
