<p>Created English encyclopedia entry on Low-Carbon Economy following Wikipedia-style standards</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;low-carbon economy&#039;&#039;&#039; is an economy that minimises emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, by shifting to low-emission sources of energy and improving energy efficiency. It is a central concept in the response to climate change and is closely linked to [[Sustainable Development|sustainable development]].&lt;ref name=&quot;wiki&quot;&gt;Wikipedia contributors, &quot;Low-carbon economy&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Definition ==<br /> <br /> A low-carbon economy is one in which economic activity is decoupled from greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving this requires a transition from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon energy sources, improvements in energy efficiency, and changes in production and consumption patterns.&lt;ref name=&quot;wiki&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> == Key elements ==<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !

The transition also raises questions of equity—ensuring a &quot;just transition&quot; for workers and regions dependent on fossil fuels—and of international coordination.&lt;ref name=&quot;wiki&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Circular Economy]]<br /> * [[Sustainable Development]]<br /> * [[Real Economy]]<br /> * [[Economic Globalization]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Economics]]<br /> [[Category:Environmental economics]]<br /> [[Category:Sustainability]]</div>
