By using the RCPs database updated by IPCC, the paper analyzes the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, regional emissions and emission abatement costs under the high, intermediaterange and low RCP scenarios. More importantly, the paper investigates the relationship between low RCP and keeping the global temperature rise below 2, identifies the challenges brought to China, and presents China s countermeasures for addressing the challenges. Key words: greenhouse gas (GHG); mitigation; representative concentration pathways (RCPs); scenario OT!"#$%$&'()*!" ==== !!"#$%&!"27!"#$%$&'( )$*+!" ====!"#$%&'()*!"#"$%!"#$%&'(#)*!"#$%!"#$% ====!"!"#$%&'()!""!"!"#$%&$%'()*+,-.!"#$%&$'(!"#$%&''&()!"!"#$%&'()*!" ====!"#$%&'()*+,-./123!"#$!!"#$%&'!()*+!"!"#$%&!"!"#!"#$%"&'()*!"#$%&'!"#"$%&'()!"#$%&'(!"#$%&'(!"#$%&'()*!"#$%&!"#$!!"#$%!"#$%&'()*15!"#$%&'!"#$%&'()(*!"#$%&'()*+,-./12!!"!"!"#"$ ====3!"!"#15!"#$% 1!"#N!"# 2! 4!"# 3!"#!"#$%&' 41!"#$%&'()*+,-.)/12!"#$%&'()*!!!"#$%&'()!"#$%&!"#$!"#$%&== 442 Adv.
