碳金融的法律再造

Legal Reshaping of Carbon Finance

碳金融是一种应对全球气候变化的创新金融模式。碳金融及其国际法律框架的出现,既标示着人类法律文明的一次成功,也是人类破坏环境的一种自救性的产物。碳金融的产生与发展,始终是在法律的框架内进行的。现有国际法层面不同的法律框架,决定了碳金融发展的复杂进路。缺乏强有力的保障机制、市场的不完善、无有效的争端解决机制,制约了碳金融的发展,也间接影响到人类生存环境的改善。再造有关碳金融的国际条约、建立有执行力的国际碳金融组织、改良碳金融市场,是碳金融发展在国际层面的重点。中国碳金融的发展已初现规范化,今后需要进一步推进、完善制度建设及碳市场的资源配置,逐步在国际碳金融市场拥有与其地位相匹配的话语权。

Carbon finance is an innovative financial model for meeting the challenge of global climate change.The emergence of carbon finance and its international legal framework represents a success for legal civilization as well as being an outcome of mankind's self-preservation in the face of environmental destruction.The emergence and development of carbon finance has always proceeded within a legal framework.Existing legal frameworks at the level of international law determine the complex process of developing carbon finance:the absence of a mandatory safeguards mechanism and an effective dispute settlement mechanism as well as market imperfections have restricted the development of carbon finance and indirectly impeded the improvement of the human living environment. What is crucial to carbon finance development at the international level is the reshaping of international conventions relating to carbon finance,the establishment of an international carbon finance organization with executive power,and the improvement of the carbon finance market.The development of China's carbon finance has shown initial standardization;what is needed from now on is to further advance and perfect institution-building and resource allocation in the carbon market,so that China can attain discourse power corresponding to its status in the international carbon finance market.
