      abstract = {This study analyzes the spatial-temporal pattern and  processes of China's energy-related carbon emissions. Based  on extensive quantitative analysis, it outlines the  character and trajectory of China's energy-related carbon  emissions during the period 1995-2010, examining the  distribution pattern of China's carbon emissions from  regional and sectoral perspectives and revealing the  driving factors of China's soaring emission increase.  Further, the book investigates the supply chain carbon  emissions (the carbon footprints) of China's industrial  sectors. Population growth, the fossil energy supply, and  anthropogenic climate change are the most serious  challenges currently facing humankind. China is the world's  largest developing country, top primary energy consumer and  carbon emitter. Achieving both economic growth and  environmental conservation is the country's twofold  challenge. Understanding the status, features and driving  forces of China's energy-related carbon emissions is a  critical aspect of attaining global sustainability. This  work, for the first time, presents both key findings on and  a systematic evaluation of China's carbon emissions from  energy consumption. The results have important implications  for global carbon budgets and burden-sharing with regard to  climate change mitigation. The book will be of great  interest to readers around the world, as it addresses a  topic of truly global significance.},
