Abstract：

The　low　carbon　development　assessment　can　provide　valid　information　to　support　decision　making　in　regional　sustainable　development.　With　the　support　of　forest　carbon　sinks　information　simulated　from　remote　sensing　data,　the　low　carbon　development　assessment　index　framework　of　Fujian　Province,　China　was　constructed.　After　indices　weighting　by　the　fuzzy　analytic　hierarchy　process　(FAHP),　the　low　carbon　development　of　Fujian　in　2005　was　assessed.　The　assessment　result　indicates　that　low　carbon　development　index　(LCD)　of　county　or　city　in　Fujian　Province,　China　has　relatively　high　correlation　with　the　percentage　of　tertiary　industry　and　per　capita　forest　net　primary　productivity　(NPP).　So　development　tertiary　industry　and　improvement　forest　carbon　carrying　capacity　are　important　approaches　for　low　carbon　development　in　Fujian　presently.　©2011　IEEE.
