What is the dual carbon target?

The country has set a dual carbon target based on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and is an effort that the country needs to make to address climate change.

Peak?carbon?dioxide?emissions means that at a certain point in time, carbon dioxide emissions stop growing to reach a peak, and then gradually fall back. Peak carbon is the historical inflection point of carbon dioxide emissions from increasing to decreasing, marking the decoupling of carbon emissions from economic development, and the peak target includes the peak year and peak value.

Peak Carbon and Carbon Neutral together are referred to as "double carbon". China is committed to stopping the growth of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and then slowly reducing them once they reach their peak.

The goal of carbon neutrality means that carbon dioxide emissions will be absorbed by means of afforestation, energy conservation and energy substitution, ultimately realizing "net-zero" emissions. Achieving carbon neutrality not only requires action by the state, enterprises and social organizations, but also by university students.

Contemporary college students should make efforts in the following aspects:

First: energy saving and emission reduction, in clothing, food, housing, transportation and other lifestyles reflected in the practice of green low-carbon life. For example: we bike to and from school, take public **** transportation, less private cars at home; reduce buy buy, second-hand clothing donations; eat less beef (cows are ruminants, farting and burping produces a lot of methane, methane carbon dioxide equivalent is very high); to reduce food waste; the family use of energy-saving lamps, inverter electrical appliances, air conditioning do not hit too low in the summer and so on can save energy and reduce emissions;

Second: the use of clean energy, photovoltaic and wind power, and so on, can be used. Clean energy, photovoltaic, wind power and other electricity. If you have the conditions, you can install photovoltaic power generation equipment on the roof, and be able to produce for your own use;

Third: increase carbon absorption, planting trees, etc.

Fourth: what college students can also do is to do more research on the technology and application of carbon capture, which is currently very costly, and if it can reduce the cost dramatically, the application of carbon capture will give mankind a shortcut to cope with climate change;

If we reduce our energy consumption, we can reduce our energy consumption and reduce our emissions. p>

If we are not successful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and mankind has not controlled the increase in global average temperature, then college students work out well and be stronger to adapt to climate change and all kinds of extreme weather because of climate change.

Contemporary college students are a young generation, a group of people whose minds and bodies are at the top of the parabola, and the hope of the country and of all mankind for the next decade and two decades, so we need to pay more attention to the "dual-carbon goals" and to climate change.
