Abstract

Considering the increasingly intricate international situation, global climate change is a threat to the essential interests of all the human community. With the arrival of Industry 4.0 which is based on intelligent manufacturing development combined with digital technology, the information and automation system is highly integrated with relatively mature intelligent manufacturing model. Whereas, to utilize the rapidly developing technologies in Industry 4.0 to assist global climate governance, and to establish a complete and efficient governance system in coordination with it, further discussion and research are needed. Accordingly, this paper analyzes the recent development of Industry 4.0, and in combination with the current climate governance mechanism. Based on the analysis, this paper proposes suggestions from the extant predicament of tackling global climate issues on industrial transformation and improve laws and regulations. While maintaining the legitimacy of the global climate system with the United Nations at the core, China will promote the continuous development of global climate governance from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
