Abstract Industrial sector is responsible for the majority of China's carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions and contributed most to the rapid increment in the first decade of this century. However, CO 2 emissions in the industrial sector stagnated due to China's economic slowdown since 2012. This paper aims to estimate the CO 2 emissions in China's industrial sector during 2010–2016 to deliver sectoral and regional details and uncover the reasons for the emissions stagnancy. We find that the emission stagnancy is a result of decreasing energy intensity and economic slowdown. Industrial restructuring within the entire industrial sector and emission intensity (emissions per unit of energy consumption) had limited effect on the emissions reduction. From the sectoral perspective, iron & steel and nonmetal sectors accounted for most reduced emissions in China's industrial sectors during 2014–2016. From the regional perspective, the emissions decrease mainly occurred in western and northeastern provinces, rather than more developed coastal provinces. Mitigation policies are raised, including the industrial structure shift from energy-intensive sectors to other sectors and addressing the emissions mitigation in rapid industrializing provinces, such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, so that an earlier and lower emission peak of China's industrial sectors can be achieved. Highlights • Iron & steel and nonmetal sectors accounted for most emissions reduction. • Decreasing energy intensity and economic slowdown are the main reasons. • Emissions in most energy-intensive sectors have peaked or approach the peak. • Emissions decrease occurred mainly in the western and northeastern provinces.

O texto procura elucidar como o PCB e outros “publicistas” como Fernando Henrique Cardoso opuseram-se e reagiram às concepções baseadas no paradigma estagnacionista e catastrofista dos finais dos anos 60 e inicio dos anos 70; e como, ao valorizarem a luta no campo da legalidade e as mudanças graduais, deram uma contribuição inestimável para a gestação de uma cultura política democrática. Palavras-chave: Estagnacionismo. Catastrofismo. Autoritarismo. Política. Democracia. This article tries to explain how the PCB and other “publicists”, such as Fernando Henrique Cardoso , opposed and reacted to the conceptions based on the stagnant and catastrophic paradigm of the end of the 60’s and beginning of the 70’s: and how, when valuing the struggle in the legal field and the gradual changes , gave a priceless contribution to the birth of a democratic and political culture. Keywords: Stagnancy; Catastrophism; Authoritarianism; Politics; Democracy.
