This book is the Proceedings of the 6th Annual Conference of Energy Economics and Management which consists of selected papers published in a Special Issue in Sustainability. This conference was held in Guangzhou, China, 11–13 November 2015. The conference was co-hosted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the Project Management Research Committee of China, and Jinan University (Guangzhou). Nearly 400 experts and scholars from more than 100 colleges and scientific research institutes in the field of energy economics and management took part in the conference. The theme of the conference was “Toward a Sustainable Low Carbon China: New Global Carbon Reduction Agreements and Energy Policy”. In addition to carbon emission reduction, resources and sustainability management, renewable and sustainable energy, energy and environmental modeling, and many other topics in sustainable energy research were tied to the conference theme. This conference provides opportunities for delegates to exchange new working papers and application experiences, in order to establish research or collaboration relations. Our deepest thanks go to Sustainability, which provided a Special Issue for this conference. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses topics related to energy economics and management in Asia, at both the macro- and micro-levels, as presented at the 6th Annual Conference of Energy Economics and Management. This book includes 18 papers selected and published in this Special Issue, after the standard peer review process. The first paper is an editorial that introduces all the papers briefly covering both the topic and methodology. These selected papers concentrate on issues of “Energy Economic and Management” in order to control China’s excessive energy consumption and resulting CO2 emissions problem, thus finally improving environmental quality and accelerating the development of an environmentally-friendly society.
