Then, according to the causes and logic of the existing four goals as the macroeconomic objectives, combined with China's situation, this paper analyzes and demonstrates function, measurement, rule, target and policy of low-carbon development, which provides theoretical support for the low-carbon development as the macroeconomic objective. After the introduction of low-carbon development, the macro-economy has five major objectives: economic growth, full employment, price stability, low-carbon development and balance of international payment.
