Carbon Neutrality-oriented Approach to Mid-and Long-term Low-Carbon Transition Towards the New Climate Change Goalsi

摘要: Green and low-carbon transition has become an important development direction for future global economy and society. President XI Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to incorporate the goal of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality into the overall plan for economic and social development and ecological civilization construction. This is a major strategic decision made by the CPC Central Committee in consideration of both the international and domestic situations, and has been highly praised by the international community. It will contribute to the pursuit of the goals of high-quality development and ecological progress, inject strong impetus into the international response to climate change and the full and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement, and add new momentum to the post-epidemic global green recovery as well as the building of a community for all life on earth. However, the realization of the dual carbon target is very challenging, facing with multiple constraints such as technology, capital and system. At the same time, it needs to coordinate the relationships between short-term and long-term, development and emission reduction, and international and domestic. This paper organically combines the long-term low-carbon development strategy with the two phased goals of socialist modernization, and puts forward the timetable, roadmap and priorities for China's dual carbon targets. Moreover, it provides countermeasures and suggestions to promote the orderly implementation of the dual carbon strategic goals from six aspects: industrial structure, energy structure, technological innovation, regional …
