Abstract:

As the world’s largest developing country and major energy consuming and carbon emitting country, the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality (dual carbon) sets higher requirements for China to achieve green and low-carbon economic and social development. Achieving the "dual carbon" goal is a broad and profound economic and social systemic transformation. It is therefore necessary to identify the problems and challenges in achieving the "dual carbon" goal based on a scientific understanding, and the key measures to promote the "dual carbon" work should be proposed. Adhering to the problem-oriented approach, this paper analyzes the sources of "dual carbon" problem, and explores its essence and deep manifestations. Then the paper systematically analyzes the challenges and conditions faced by China to achieve the "dual carbon" goal. On the basis of coordinating development and emission reduction, key measures are proposed to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, including promoting green and low-carbon transformation of energy, advancing energy conservation in key areas, popularizing the application of energy-saving and low-carbon technologies and products, perfecting the system and mechanism for green and low-carbon development, promoting conservation and intensive utilization of resources; enhancing the carbon sink capacity of the ecosystem, and strengthening international exchanges and cooperation.
