Description
Summary:In view of the energy shortage and climate warming that are caused by rapid urbanization, the energy structure that relies on traditional fossil fuels brings serious ecological problems, such as the urban heat island effect, acid rain, fog, and haze. To promote urban carbon emission reduction, energy saving, and quality improvement, it is urgent to change the energy structure and develop more new energies. This study provides a systematic review of domestic and international research on the urban heat island effect, its resulting hazards, and related research methods. The correlations between heat island effect and anthropogenic activities as well as energy structure were elucidated. Simultaneously, the deficiencies of the promotion trend of new energy in recent studies were put forward to the point. To promote the "double carbon" orientation based on the natural non-loss method, it provides a valuable reference for further alleviating a series of ecological problems caused by urbanization.
