积极应对全球气候变化，实现经济社会发展的绿色低碳转型，需要全社会成员的共同参与建设。在这个过程中，政府将具有不可替代的作用，促进低碳经济发展和低碳社会建设已成为当代政府的新型行政职能。行政法作为调整、规范行政机关职权职责和行政行为的重要部门法，必须作出适应时代要求的变化和发展。本书以行政法的基本内容构造为分析框架，梳理了从 1990 年到 2015 年间我国行政法为应对气候变化而做出的调整与发展，从约束政府自身活动符合低碳要求和促使政府有效履行低碳规制的新型职能两个维度，系统研究了行政法基本原则、行政主体、行政行为、行政程序、行政责任等理论和制度的应有变革和发展，对我国行政法的理论和制度如何适应低碳时代的要求提出了新的思考。

Brief Introduction of the Content

It is a common concern of the international community in today’s world that we should actively respond to the crisis of global climate change. The fundamental way to implement it is to lower dependence on fossil energy, decrease the density of greenhouse gas emissions caused by production and consumption, and finally realize the low-carbonization of global economic development and social life. This will be an epoch-making model of economic development and social life. In this model, we may deal with social aspects like politics, economy, science and technology, culture, lifestyle, and so on, and we need the joint action of all members of society. Also in this model, the government will play an irreplaceable leading and organizing role. It will face the new administrative function of promoting the development of a low carbon economy and constructing a low-carbon society. Administrative law, as a legal system to regulate government behaviors, thus has a mission of the age to deal with climate change.This book puts forward new thinking on how the theory and system of China’s administrative law can meet the requirements of the low-carbon era, with the basic content and structure of administrative law as the analytical framework. And from the two dimensions of restraining the government’s own activities to meet low carbon requirements and prompting the government to effectively perform the new function of implementing low-carbon regulations, this book systematically studies the due changes and developments of theories and systems like the basic principles of administrative law, administrative entities, administrative actions, administrative processes, and administrative liability. This book is the first legal monograph devoted to low-carbon administration in the field of administrative law, with novel,
prospective and pertinent viewpoints, unique analysis, rich content, and detailed information.The publication of this book can provide a reference for the legal circles to further explore the legal issues of climate change, and also provide a useful reference for the practical circles to make relevant decisions.
