Background, content and significance of the dual-carbon policy

The dual-carbon policy is the policy of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, that is, China strives to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. Its policy background and significance are as follows:

1, dual-carbon policy background

Currently, China is the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide.In 2019, China's carbon dioxide emissions will be about 11 billion tons, the United States about 5.3 billion tons, the European Union 2.9 billion tons, and India 2.5 billion tons. China's carbon dioxide emissions alone are equivalent to the total carbon dioxide emissions of the major economies behind it, and it is under greater political pressure internationally as a result.

2, dual-carbon policy significance

"Dual-carbon" strategy advocates a green, environmentally friendly, low-carbon lifestyle. Accelerating the pace of reducing carbon emissions is conducive to guiding green technological innovation and improving the global competitiveness of industries and the economy. China continues to promote the adjustment of industrial structure and energy structure, vigorously develops renewable energy, accelerates the planning and construction of large-scale wind power and photovoltaic base projects in deserts, the Gobi and desert areas, and strives to synchronize economic development and green transformation.

The goal of the dual-carbon policy

1, dual-carbon policy is to force industrial transformation and upgrading, and improve the quality of economic growth. The "dual-carbon" goal will promote the transformation and upgrading of China's industrial manufacturing industry, especially the primary manufacturing industry, to a green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading, and will greatly increase the investment in research and development of new technologies related to green development, and consolidate China's dominant position in this field.

2, dual-carbon policy is to accelerate China's energy transition and energy revolution process. By significantly improving the efficiency of energy use and vigorously develop non-fossil energy, gradually get rid of the dependence on fossil energy, with lower energy consumption and cleaner energy, to support China's economic and social development and improve the standard of living of the residents, while forcing the energy clean transition to protect China's energy security supply.
