1, "double carbon goal" is an important starting point for practicing the concept of ecological civilization. The construction of ecological civilization is an important aspect of the "five in one" development concept. In recent years, the sustainable development concepts of "Beautiful China" and "Clear water and green mountains are priceless" have run through the policy, and the current government has paid special attention to the construction of ecological civilization.
2. The scientific certainty of global warming is enhanced, and it is increasingly urgent to control greenhouse gas emissions and slow down climate warming. In the past century, the main feature of global climate change is warming. Since the beginning of human industrialization, due to the extensive use of fossil energy such as coal and oil, a large amount of carbon dioxide has been emitted, resulting in an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the greenhouse effect has warmed the global climate.
3. China has been in the late stage of industrialization and gradually moved towards the post-industrialization stage, so it is confident to achieve the "double carbon goal". Global climate governance is a scientific issue, but in the final analysis, it is a development issue, and carbon emission rights are related to the country's right to development. For a long time, global climate governance has been dominated and promoted by post-industrialized countries in Europe, and its leading emission reduction plan must be based on the basic national conditions in the post-industrialization stage.
Characteristics of double carbon target:
The peak of carbon dioxide emission, the essence of carbon neutrality is higher quality sustainable development. Although it is in the interest of all mankind to reduce carbon emissions to deal with global climate change, this issue has serious negative externalities and is very difficult to advance.
For developing countries, many countries are still in the stage of industrialization or pre-industrialization, and economic and social construction and development are inseparable from cheap fossil energy. Limiting carbon dioxide emissions undoubtedly limits the development of these countries. In this case, the private benefits (domestic benefits) of limiting carbon emissions are less than the social benefits (the interests of all mankind), which will inevitably lead to the weak willingness of developing countries to limit carbon emissions.
