我国当前实行碳税促进温室气体减排的可行性思考

Study on the Feasibility of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emission by Implementing Carbon Tax in China

全球气候变化是当今世界上最受瞩目的问题之一,因为气候变化不仅仅是气候本身的问题,还是一个涉及经济和政治的热点问题。我国作为世界上最大的发展中国家在《京都议定书》中虽没有承担减排义务,但作为仅次于美国的世界第二大二氧化碳排放国家,后京都时代我国温室气体减排的压力会越来越大。本文先简要介绍了碳税这一国际社会普遍采用的减排政策,其后对发达国家碳税实践进行分析,并结合我国国情提出了当前开征碳税需要着重考虑的问题,最后对当前碳税的可行性进行总结。

Nowadays, global climate change is one of the most serious issues in the world, because climate change is not just the issue of climate itself, but related to economic and pollticali ssues. China, the world＇s largest developing countries, although it has no commitment to emission reduction obligations in the ＂Kyoto Protocol＂, but it is the world＇s second largest carbon dioxide emissions. Post-Kyoto era of China＇s greenhouse gas emission reduction will be more and more serious. The paper first briefly introduces carbon tax as emission reduction policy generally adopted by the international community, and then analyzes developed countries carbon tax practices, combined with the national condition of China and puts forward the question that the carbon tax need consider emphatically at present and summarizes feasibility of carbon tax.
