Abstract
To meet the temperature rising target of the Paris Agreement, the deep reduction in CO2 emission has to be carried out in China and the corresponding transformation of energy and socio-economic development pathway is required in the future. The development pathway with climate resilience emphasizes the paralleling abilities to address the impact of climate change and to coordinate with other social development targets during the process of implementing the emission reduction pathway. This chapter analyzes the emission reduction pathway for meeting the temperature rise goal of the Paris Agreement at first, and then integrates the related factors under the framework of climate resilience into the development pathway analysis.
