Low carbon economy was first found in Our Energy Future, Creating a Low Carbon Economy, British energy white book of 2003.

According to Zhuang (2005), one of the earliest Chinese scholars who study low carbon economy, the so-called low carbon economy is essentially to deal with energy efficiency and clean energy structure, focus on technological and institutional innovation, and aim to decelerate climate change and realize sustainable development.
