新发展阶段实现“双碳”目标的形势与对策

Situation of and Countermeasures for Achieving the Carbon Peak and Neutrality Goals in the New Development Stage

中国是全球生态文明建设的主要参与者、重要贡献者与积极引领者。但由于人口多、体量大等原因,和其他经济体比较,我们在节能减排过程中所面临的现实困难也不小。实现“双碳”目标是一项长期性、艰巨性、复杂性的任务,不能搞“一刀切”,要因时、因地制宜,统筹兼顾节能降耗与可持续发展:加强节能降耗的技术研发,加速清洁能源对传统能源的有效替代;构建“碳税-补偿”等机制,用市场化手段倒逼能源结构优化。

China is a major participant, an important contributor and an active leader in promoting global ecological progress. However, compared with other economies, we are facing quite a few difficulties in energy conservation and emission reduction due to the large population and size. It is a long-term, arduous, and complex task to achieve the carbon peak and neutrality goals. We should avoid a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but should adapt to the changing times and local conditions, and balance energy saving and sustainable development. Major measures include: strengthening the research and development of energy-saving and consumption-reduction technologies, accelerating the effective substitution of clean energy for traditional one, building a “carbon tax-carbon offset” mechanism, and leveraging the market to force the optimization of the energy mix.
