“双碳”目标下雄安新区发展碳金融的思考

Thinking on the Development of Carbon Finance in Xiong’an New Area under the Goal of “Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutral”

习近平主席在第七十五届联合国大会上提出,我国力争在2030年前二氧化碳排放达到峰值,努力争取2060年前实现碳中和。这标志着我国的低碳经济踏上了高速发展的快车道。作为绿色生态宜居新城建设标杆的雄安新区,应该在"双碳"目标的达成上起到引领作用。要想实现这一目标就少不了碳金融的支持。目前,雄安新区整体的发展仍处于起步阶段,金融基础薄弱导致碳金融的发展起步艰难,同时社会对于碳金融的整体认知程度不高、从事碳金融工作的专业人才比较缺乏以及碳金融的相关制度不健全等都是雄安新区发展碳金融可能遇到的问题。加快推进雄安新区碳金融的发展以实现"双碳"目标,需要从建立雄安碳金融体系、设计碳交易激励机制、培养碳金融专业人才以及优化顶层设计和加快制度创新等多个角度入手。

At the 75 th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, President Xi Jinping announced that China aims to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, which marks that Chinese low-carbon economy has stepped on the fast track of rapid development. The Xiong’an New Area, a benchmark in the construction of green, ecological and livable new cities, should play a leading role under the"dual carbon"target. Carbon finance is essential for this to happen.At present, the overall development of Xiong’an New Area is still in its infancy: The weak financial foundation makes the development of carbon finance difficult to start. At the same time, the society’s overall understanding of carbon finance is not high. The lack of professionals engaged in carbon finance and the imperfect system of carbon finance are the problems that the development of carbon finance in Xiong’an New Area may encounter. Therefore, in order to solve these problems and promote the development of carbon finance in Xiong’an New Area as soon as possible to achieve the goal of"dual carbon", it is necessary to establish a carbon finance system in Xiong’an, design carbon trading incentive mechanism, cultivate carbon finance professionals, optimize the top-level design and do a good job in institutional innovation.
