循环经济助推碳中和的路径和对策建议

Toward Carbon Neutrality:Circular Economy Approach and Policy Implications

在当前日益复杂的国际局势下开展全球气候治理面临更多挑战。作为全球二氧化碳(CO2)排放总量最多的国家,中国承诺力争在2030年前实现碳达峰、2060年前实现碳中和。然而,碳中和是一项复杂的系统工程,急需通过发展循环经济等手段来实现。文章基于减量化、再利用和资源化的“3R”原则,剖析发展循环经济与实现碳中和的内在联系,对比国内外发展现状,阐释循环经济在实现碳中和目标中的关键作用,为促进我国通过循环经济助力实现碳中和目标提出政策建议。

It is challenging to promote global climate change governance under the current complicated international contexts.As a country with the largest carbon emission,China has committed to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.However,carbon neutrality is a complex system engineering and relies on the implementation of circular economy.Based upon“3R”principles of reduce,reuse,and recycle,this study investigates the internal relations between circular economy and carbon neutrality and identifies the key position of circular economy in achieving carbon neutrality targets.Several policy implications are raised to help promote the development of circular economy and achieve carbon neutrality targets.
