This paper analyses the main factors causing sluggish development of rural low-carbon economy in China as follows, the rural energy structure is irrational; the infrastructure and technology are relatively backward; system of laws, regulations and policy is not sound; fund-raising mechanism develops slowly; farmers' low-carbon awareness and ability are limited. On the basis of these unfavorable factors, from the perspective of government regulation, feasible strategies are put forward in line with the actual situation of rural low-carbon economic development in China.
