Time Use Behavior and Low-Carbon Management

Issues such as energy security and climate change have become increasingly prominent, and countries around the world are actively advancing the zero-carbon process. China has put forward the goal of striving to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, and has actively adopted various energy conservation and carbon reduction measures. Behavioral change can reduce energy consumption and emissions at the source at a relatively low cost, boasts great long-term potential for energy conservation and emission reduction, and serves as an important means to address global climate challenges. Time is an absolutely scarce resource for every individual and a necessary input for all behavioral activities, and analyzing people's time use behavior can fundamentally clarify the causes and transmission paths of energy consumption and emissions. Building on the revelation of the changing patterns of time use behavior, Time Use Behavior and Low-Carbon Management systematically puts forward the overall ideas, correlation paths, coupling methods and policy systems for analyzing energy and environmental issues from the time perspective, and explores the comprehensive impacts of new trends, new technologies and new business forms on energy and the environment as well as the transformation direction of low-carbon behaviors against the background of the new era, so as to provide a scientific basis for relevant national decision-making departments to guide the low-carbon transformation of behaviors while meeting people's needs for a better life, and at the same time enable more readers to truly understand that their own efforts can also contribute to the high-quality development of the world and the country.
