Low-carbon management plays an important role in mitigating climate change and adapting to it. Localities should adopt differentiated low-carbon management policies according to the state of their environment. To help formulate specific and realistic low-carbon management policies, this paper took into account specific low-carbon management sectors. Likewise, it carefully considered the differences in various resource endowments and proposed a method for evaluating low-carbon management efficiency and potential. The method was applied to an empirical study from 2015 conducted on 1771 Chinese counties. Significant spatial heterogeneity was found during the research. The counties bordering central and Western China and the ones in the southeast coastal areas showed higher efficiency in the industrial sector. Southern and Northern China had higher efficiency in the housing and transportation sector, respectively. Moreover, counties in remote areas showed more potential in the industrial sector. Central China had higher potential in the housing sector, while counties bordering provinces had more potential in the transportation sector. Therefore, Chinese counties were divided into eight management zones where differentiated management strategies were identified to shape low-carbon management policies.
低碳管理在缓解气候变化和适应气候变化方面发挥着重要作用。地方应根据环境状况采取差异化的低碳管理政策。为帮助制定具体和现实的低碳管理政策，本文考虑了特定的低碳管理部门。同样，它还仔细考虑了各种资源禀赋的差异，并提出了一种评估低碳管理效率和潜力的方法。该方法应用于 2015 年对中国 1771 个县进行的实证研究。研究过程中发现了显著的空间异质性。毗邻中西部的县和东南沿海地区的县在工业部门的效率更高。中国南方和北方在住房和交通部门的效率更高。此外，偏远地区的县在工业部门有更大的潜力。中国中部地区在住房部门有更高的潜力，而毗邻省份的县在交通部门有更高的潜力。因此，中国的县被划分为八个管理区，确定了差异化的管理策略，以制定低碳管理政策。
