Accompanied by the institutionalization trend of global environmental protection, the establishment of a fair and effective climate governance mechanism has become one of the main courses of the world's political, economic. The premise of the low-carbon to low-carbon development model governance mechanisms become an important subject of attention in recent years. Which low-carbon urban governance become a vital part in the process of tackling climate change, the implementation of low-carbon practices. Significant synergies as a result of climate policy and sustainable development at the local level, local governments gradually become a low-carbon urban governance plays supervision, to provide and promote the role of the main driving forces. Many Western countries in recent years a series of exploration of low-carbon urban governance mechanisms, achieved noteworthy success in the control of carbon emissions, the implementation of low-carbon development. In-depth research and analysis of the experience and lessons of Western governments for low-carbon urban governance, domestic urban low-carbon urban construction, governance, has important theoretical and practical value. This article based on the study and practice of Western countries in the low-carbon governance mechanisms, the synthesis and analysis of low-carbon city of the Western countries, internal governance mechanism and external cooperation mechanisms, respectively. First chapter, the first low-carbon urban governance research background and significance described; then combined with a large number of domestic and international literature, analysis of the status quo within the research areas, and pointed out that the present study the problems, in order to come to the study of this article based on the topics and the starting point; Finally, a brief description of the research content, structure, innovation and inadequacies. Chapter II, based on the development of Western governance theory, especially in recent years has been widely studied, application of polycentric governance theory, starting from the connotation of polycentric governance theory, trying to sort out the political logic of the low-carbon urban governance. Such as: the general principles of the low-carbon urban governance, the implementation of the contents of the low-carbon urban governance, and low-carbon urban governance, national particularity. Chapter III, the first history of the Western countries, low-carbon concept carding explain profiling from low-carbon economy, low-carbon society to a low-carbon city development context. Then, the practice of low-carbon urban governance progress of Western countries, four cities (or national regions, such as Scotland), for example, was the fourth chapter of the study, from the local government response to climate change policy implementation process, the Government the breadth and intensity of the power to distinguish the four local government internal governance mechanism: demonstration mechanisms, steering mechanisms, support mechanisms and authority mechanism. Concrete examples of the implementation of local government at home and abroad, this concept of the four mechanisms, the application of rule and embodiment. And its application results and limitations of the assessment. Chapter of local government as part of the global climate governance system, from the perspective of external cooperation provides two different types of cooperative governance: horizontal cooperation and vertical cooperation. Horizontal cooperation can be said to be a manifestation of the local self-government, and vertical cooperation urban local governments to cooperate with the national government, shared governance of local climate. This paper will also vertical cooperation () is divided into three mechanisms, mainly based government in which the role of incentives, from Governments in implementing illustration assessment. Chapter VI of the main points of the above research review, the general principles and logic of the research in the development of low-carbon urban governance mechanisms. On this basis, combined with China's political and economic development characteristics, as well as China's ecological state of the environment, from a policy point of view, especially for low-carbon urban governance and planning policy formulation put forward some suggestions.
