What is the key to achieving the "dual carbon" goal

The "dual carbon" goal is a major strategic decision
made by China based on the inherent requirements of promoting the responsibility of a major country to build a community with a shared future for mankind and achieving high-quality and sustainable development.
The achievement of the "dual carbon" goal is a complex and arduous system project, which is related to the overall situation of high-quality economic and social development and the overall layout of
ecological civilization.
Therefore, in order to further achieve the "dual carbon" goal on schedule, it is necessary to coordinate the overall situation and formulate a series of scientific action plans, and strengthen the guidance and layout of various policies for the "dual carbon" work
.

To achieve the "dual carbon" goal, we must properly handle the relationship between the three pairs

The realization of the "dual carbon" goal on schedule faces many challenges and requires a series of hard work, and it is particularly important to
handle the relationship between the three pairs in an integrated manner.

The relationship between
economic development and energy conservation and emission reduction.
On the one hand, the industrial development structure and energy consumption pattern determine that China's GDP growth will still be highly dependent on energy consumption and carbon emissions
for a long time in the future 。 On the other hand, carbon sequestration and carbon capture have the dual challenges of technical uncertainty and low degree of marketization, to some extent, maintaining economic growth and promoting energy conservation and emission reduction still have a big conflict at this stage, it is necessary to correctly control the rhythm of energy conservation and carbon reduction and economic growth, adhere to the principle of first establishing and then breaking, make full use of scientific and technological progress and institutional innovation and other means, as far as possible to balance the economic fluctuations in the process of achieving the "dual carbon" goal, so that the pace of energy conservation and carbon reduction is generally compatible with the economic development situation
。

The relationship between
low-carbon development and people's livelihood security.
On the one hand, low-carbon development can promote industrial transformation and achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, scientific and reasonable green and healthy low-carbon development measures will benefit people's livelihood, but also promote the change of residents' lifestyles and values, and improve the level of
social welfare.
On the other hand, unreasonable low-carbon development actions will affect the basic security of
people's livelihood.
Correctly handle the relationship between low-carbon development and ensuring people's livelihood, build a coordination mechanism for low-carbon development and people's livelihood security, and promote both incentives and constraints, especially to provide necessary compensation mechanisms for affected special groups, so as to maintain social fairness, harmony and stability
in the process of achieving the "dual carbon" goal.

The integration of
the "dual carbon" goal and other strategies.
The "dual carbon" goal has a wide impact on the economy and society, and it is necessary to pay attention to its systematic, synergistic and integrated nature, properly handle the connection and integration relationship between the "dual carbon" goal and other strategies or goals such as rural revitalization, ecological civilization and common prosperity, and coordinate to promote the effective realization
of relevant goals.

Build a unified national carbon emission trading market

Building a unified national carbon emission trading market can break down industry and regional market barriers, and eventually form a national market
with the price mechanism as the core and effectively linked from top to bottom.
To this end, efforts need to be made in
the following three aspects.

Further clarify carbon emission allowances and accelerate market convergence and integration
.
Explore the establishment of a scientific and reasonable initial allocation mechanism for carbon emission allowances, strive to eliminate policy barriers, break down regional barriers, and reduce transaction costs, so as to lay a solid institutional foundation
for the construction and development of a unified national carbon emission trading market.
On the one hand, scientifically identify the differences in emission levels and emission reduction costs between different industries, and orderly promote high-emission industries such as cement, non-ferrous metals, steel, petrochemicals and chemicals to enter the national carbon emission trading market
.
On the other hand, for the existing local carbon emission trading market, it should be gradually integrated into the national unified carbon emission trading market at the right time and opportunity, and strengthen the integration between
China and the international carbon emission trading market.

Accelerate the inclusion of forest and grassland carbon sinks into the national carbon emission trading market
.
Forest and grassland carbon sinks are an important "ballast stone"
for China to achieve carbon neutrality.
Therefore, competent authorities at all levels not only need to gradually enrich the methodological filing of forestry carbon sink projects, reasonably expand the project coverage, shorten the project approval time, and focus on reducing the transaction costs of forest and grassland carbon sink certification voluntary emission reduction projects; It is also necessary to accelerate the inclusion of forestry carbon sinks into the national carbon emission trading market, and establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for the scale of forest and grassland carbon sinks according to the overall process of achieving China's "dual carbon" goals, so that forest and grassland carbon sequestration and increase sinks can play a greater role
in the realization of China's "dual carbon" goals.

Rationally cultivate and regulate the "dual carbon" investment market
.
With the continuous deepening of the "dual carbon" goal, a number of emerging industries and emerging markets will be born, which will bring new momentum
to China's economic and social development.
On the one hand, to rationally cultivate the "dual carbon" investment market, it is necessary to build a multi-level and gradient investment system on the top-level design, give full play to the government's role in guiding investment, build an investment and financing system that is compatible with the "dual carbon" goal, and actively guide social capital to participate in the "dual carbon" investment market
.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to regulate the operation of social capital to prevent excessive speculation and disorderly expansion of capital, and the relevant competent departments should establish a price management mechanism to deal with possible abnormalities
in the trading market.

The "dual carbon" information disclosure system still needs to be further improved

At present, in the context of serving the implementation of the "dual carbon" goal, the "dual carbon" information disclosure system has become increasingly important
as an effective support for promoting the healthy operation of the carbon market.

It is important and necessary
to build a "dual carbon" information disclosure system.
At present, under the development trend of China's further vigorous development of green and low-carbon economy, the state attaches great importance to the work related to information disclosure of financial institutions, enterprises and listed companies, and puts forward clear requirements
.
On the one hand, from the current specific situation in China, enterprises still have low enthusiasm and insufficient initiative in carbon information disclosure, which will not only affect the sustainable development of enterprises themselves, but also affect the orderly realization
of China's "dual carbon" goal.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's ecological environmental protection will enter a new period of carbon reduction, pollution reduction and carbon synergy, and during this period, the construction of a sound and unified information disclosure system will be the general trend
.
On the other hand, the information disclosure system can not only provide an effective basis for carbon finance pricing and carbon risk assessment, but also facilitate market supervision and scientific evaluation of the emission reduction effect of key emitting enterprises.
It can also provide an information basis
for China's international climate negotiations, the formulation of "dual carbon" policies and the stable operation of the national carbon trading market.

Establish a unified and standardized carbon emission information disclosure system
.
Actively exploring the construction of a unified and standardized carbon emission information disclosure system at the national level is the basis for the establishment of China's "dual carbon" information disclosure system, especially to strengthen the construction of carbon information disclosure system for key enterprises, it is necessary to build a unified enterprise carbon emission accounting system, accounting standards for carbon emissions and carbon sink asset accounting and trading, as well as carbon emissions, carbon sinks and carbon neutrality information disclosure rules, and gradually guide enterprises to improve the enthusiasm and data quality of carbon information disclosure
。

Accelerate the construction of a comprehensive carbon information data management platform
.
Under the "dual carbon" goal, carbon data will become an important part of the data competitiveness of
countries and enterprises.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish a national "dual carbon" information center, including information collection center, information dissemination center and information decision-making center
, as soon as possible.
On the one hand, we should have a clear understanding of key information such as national carbon emission data, industry sector emission reduction, enterprise emission reduction, market trading status, carbon neutrality situation, etc.
, and coordinate and release official data such as carbon emissions and carbon neutrality to reflect emission reduction results and respond to social concerns; On the other hand, through information collection, monitoring and evaluation, problems can be discovered in a timely manner, decision-making can be dynamically adjusted, and the level of
"dual carbon" governance will be continuously improved.
