旅游碳足迹的测算研究进展与展望

Research progress and prospect of tourism carbon footprint measurement

人类活动引起的温室气体的大量排放是地球变暖的主要原因,大力发展低碳经济已成为国内外共识。生态文明导向下的低碳旅游正是顺应了低碳经济这一国际发展趋势而产生的一种新的旅游发展方式。关于旅游碳足迹的研究在国内才开始不久,论文对国内外关于旅游碳足迹的概念、测算方法和模型、研究领域和地域、实证研究数据进行了梳理和分析,今后应明确界定旅游碳足迹的概念,以旅游卫星账户的框架和数据为基础来界定旅游业的系统边界,加强对旅游碳足迹测算结果的不确定性分析,并制定低碳足迹旅游的相关衡量标准。

Greenhouse gas emission from human activities is the main cause of global warming,and developing low-carbon economy has become a consensus at home and abroad. Low-carbon tourism under the guidance of ecological civilization is a new type of tourism development mode,which complies with the international development trend of low carbon economy. Research on tourism carbon footprint in China has just started. This paper discusses and analyzes tourism carbon footprint concept,calculation methods and models,research areas and regions,empirical research data. We should clearly define the concept of tourism carbon footprint as well as the system boundary of tourism industry based on the framework and data of tourism satellite account,strengthen the analysis of the uncertainty of measurement results of tourism carbon footprint,and formulate the measurement standards of low carbon footprint tourism.
