The role of the carbon trading floor of the Environmental Exchange

The first is a major institutional innovation to use market mechanisms to respond to climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Second, it helps to encourage emitting entities to complete carbon emission reduction targets at low cost, and is an important means for my country to achieve total greenhouse gas emission control and peak targets. The third is to help technology and funds guide the field of low-carbon development, promote the conversion of new and old driving forces for enterprise development, and force enterprises to eliminate backward production capacity and transform and upgrade. Fourth, my country is actively participating in the emerging international carbon pricing system and taking major actions to improve international leadership in the field of climate change.

1. Currently, there are three major carbon trading exchanges in China: Beijing Environment Exchange, Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange and Tianjin Emissions Exchange. There are many carbon trading service companies that have been extended from this. There are currently no statistics on the number of such companies, so the specific numbers are unknown.

2. Carbon trading is a market mechanism used to promote the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions and reduce global carbon dioxide emissions. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on May 9, 1992, through difficult negotiations. The first additional agreement to the Convention, the "Kyoto Protocol" (referred to as the "Protocol"), was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997. The Protocol regards the market mechanism as a new way to solve the problem of greenhouse gas emission reduction represented by carbon dioxide, that is, it treats carbon dioxide emission rights as a commodity, thus forming the transaction of carbon dioxide emission rights, referred to as carbon trading.

1. The construction of the national carbon emissions trading market mainly includes the following aspects, namely, the construction of a policy and regulatory system based on the "National Carbon Emissions Trading Management Regulations", the construction of a direct emission data reporting system, and the construction of a carbon emissions trading market. Emission rights registration system, trading system and settlement system are the main supporting systems, and an institutional system based on the emission accounting reporting and verification system, emission quota allocation system, and carbon trading supervision and management system is established, and the trading entities and trading products are clarified. and trading platforms, etc.

Due to the different carbon emission levels, emission reduction potential and economic development needs of various provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and key emission industries in my country, the construction of a national carbon emissions trading market is complex and arduous. In the process of building the national carbon market, it is problem-oriented and focuses on the phased, unified, fair, operable, compatibility, marketability and enthusiasm of the national carbon emissions trading market. After an in-depth summary of the seven pilot carbon market Based on the experience in the construction of emission trading markets and foreign carbon markets, we will design, build, and gradually improve the national carbon emissions trading market based on the principle of easier things first and difficult ones later, based on national conditions, and considering regional and industry differences.

In short, the construction of the national carbon emissions trading market is an important part of the construction of ecological civilization. It is my country's way to lead global climate governance, break energy and environmental constraints, and achieve a win-win situation of improving social and economic quality and efficiency and green and low-carbon development. important measures. my country will continue to improve the elements and supporting system of the carbon trading system, continue to carry out capacity building, and eventually build a unified emission accounting reporting and verification specification, a unified emission quota allocation method, a unified emission quota registration system and trading platform, and a unified A feasible and effective national carbon emission rights trading market with carbon emission rights performance rules and a unified trading supervision and management mechanism.
