1. Definition and background:
Carbon emission right refers to the allocation of a certain amount of carbon dioxide emission quotas to enterprises or countries according to the carbon emission reduction targets of countries or regions to measure and control their carbon emission behavior. This is a management system established to cope with climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Carbon market and trading:
Carbon emission rights can usually be bought and sold in the carbon trading market. Enterprises can buy and sell carbon emission rights according to their own emissions to meet their own emission limits. The carbon trading market can promote the flexibility and economic benefits of carbon emission reduction and encourage enterprises to take more emission reduction measures.
3. Principle of carbon quota allocation:
The allocation of carbon emission rights can be based on different principles, such as historical emissions, industrial structure, energy efficiency and so on. The European Union and other regions adopt historical emissions as the allocation principle, that is, the carbon emission rights are allocated according to the past emissions of enterprises. Some emerging market economies adopt industrial structure and energy efficiency to allocate carbon emission rights.
4. Stimulate emission reduction and develop a low-carbon economy;
The carbon emission right system can encourage enterprises to reduce carbon emissions and conduct low-carbon technology research and development by setting carbon emission limits and introducing carbon trading markets. This will not only help to achieve global carbon emission reduction targets, mitigate the impact of climate change, but also help to promote the development and sustainable development of low-carbon economy.
5. International cooperation and carbon emissions trading:
The system of carbon emission rights has also been widely applied and popularized in the world. Some countries and regions have achieved cross-border carbon emission reduction cooperation by participating in the international carbon market and carbon emission trading. This kind of international cooperation can help developing countries obtain technical and financial support, promote global carbon emission reduction cooperation and jointly meet the challenges of climate change.
Summary:
Carbon emission right refers to the rights and interests allocated to enterprises or countries for measuring and controlling their greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide. The carbon emission right system promotes enterprises to reduce carbon emissions and develop a low-carbon economy by setting carbon emission limits and carbon trading markets. At the international level, the carbon emission right system has also promoted the cooperation and exchange of global carbon emission reduction.
