国际规范、环境合作与建设绿色“一带一路”倡议

International norms, environmental cooperation, and building a Green Belt and Road Initiative

国际合作项目需符合绿色发展原则已经成为重要的国际规范。当前,“一带一路”倡议正在进一步推进,在这一过程中倡议如何能够遵循绿色规范,并引领全球绿色发展成为重要的研究问题。推进绿色“一带一路”倡议具有多重深远的战略意义:第一,绿色“一带一路”倡议建设有助于规避国际合作风险,绿色化因此具有基础性功能,必须深入推进。第二,从国际环境合作角度来看,绿色“一带一路”倡议有助于形成国内外统一的生态文明基调,并以绿色理念推动经济的低碳转型,是国内国际双循环的重要内容。第三,从外交实践角度,它是中国参与全球生态环境治理,构建人类命运共同体的重要领域,有助于树立中国的国际形象。在目前的制度建设下,绿色规范为“一带一路”倡议的治理机制设定了方针路线,试图将生态环境因素融入“一带一路”建设的全过程。通过借鉴中国本土绿色发展经验,以共建、自愿为特点的机制设计提升全球生态环境治理的有效性。目前框架内合作采取软性、灵活的方式,取得了初步合作成效。从推进路径上看,绿色“一带一路”的建设应以有效的制度建构为基础,推动市场化手段,进而形成更为有效的国际环境合作框架。

The need for international cooperation projects to comply with the principles of green development has become an important international norm.At present,the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)is being further promoted.In this process,how the initiative can follow green norms and lead global green development has become an important research subject.This article argues that advancing the Green Belt and Road Initiative has multiple,far-reaching strategic implications:First,the Green Belt and Road Initiative helps avoid risks in international cooperation.Therefore,this initiative serves as the foundation for BRI and must be further advanced.Second,from the perspective of international environmental cooperation,the Green Belt and Road Initiative helps to form a uniform pattern for the ecological civilization construction at home and abroad,and promotes the low-carbon transformation of the economy with green concepts,which is an important part of the domestic and international‘dual circulation’development paradigm.Third,from the perspective of diplomatic practice,it is an important field for China to participate in global ecological governance and build a human community with a shared future,and it is conducive to the promotion of China’s international image.In the context of developing China’s systems,green norms have set guidelines for the governance mechanisms of the BRI in an effort to integrate ecological and environmental factors into the whole process of the initiative’s construction.By learning from China’s local green development experience,the mechanism design based on co-construction and volunteerism will enhance the effectiveness of global ecological environment governance.So far,a soft and flexible approach has been adopted in the cooperation within the framework,which has yielded some preliminary results.From the perspective of the promotion paths,the construction of the Green Belt and Road Initiative should rely on effective institutional construction,promote market-oriented means,and form a more effective framework for international environmental cooperation.
