Interpretation of China's emission reduction targets: strong emission reduction also insists on defending its own development rights
2024-07-12 11:11:20
A few days ago, the Chinese government announced its goal of controlling greenhouse gas emissions by 2020: by 2020, China’s carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP (GDP) will fall by 40%-45% compared to 2005, and as a constraint. Sex indicators are included in the medium and long-term planning of national economic and social development. At the same time, China will also make non-fossil energy account for about 15% of primary energy consumption by 2020, increase forest carbon sinks, increase forest area by 40 million hectares compared with 2005, and increase forest reserves by 1.3 billion cubic meters compared with 2005. Rice and other emission reduction measures.
While making the above commitments, China has achieved considerable reductions in its emissions reductions. As of the first half of this year, China's energy consumption per unit of GDP has been reduced by 13% on the basis of 2005, and it is expected to achieve a target of 20% reduction by 2010. This is equivalent to less than 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In 2008, the volume of CERs generated by China through participation in CDM projects accounted for 84% of the world's total volume.
China is confident of realizing new commitments, and because China has prepared for its institutions and legislation. In 2007, China established the National Climate Change Leading Group, headed by the Premier of the State Council, and announced the “China National Climate Change Programâ€. In 2008, it released the White Paper on China's Policies and Actions to Address Climate Change and Renewable energy development "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" and so on. Since 2006, the Chinese government has successively implemented the Energy Conservation Law, the Renewable Energy Law, the Cleaner Production Promotion Law, and the Circular Economy Promotion Law, laying a legislative foundation for energy conservation and emission reduction and climate change.
While promising to reduce emissions, China also insists on defending its own development rights. As a large developing country with a per capita GDP of only about 3,200 US dollars, China's economic growth and the improvement of people's living standards will inevitably lead to a large increase in energy consumption; China's population will grow at an annual rate of 8 million to 10 million in the next 15 years. The dependence of resource endowments on high-carbon energy coal cannot be changed in the short term, combined with the lack of technology and funds needed for emission reduction, and the large scale of “transfer emissions†from developed countries as a “world factoryâ€. It has decided that China cannot promise to reduce the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to ensure a reasonable carbon emission space that can improve people's living standards.
However, this does not mean that China does not undertake the obligation to protect the global climate. It does not mean that China will not commit to specific emission reduction targets in the future. China has already ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, and has now announced new emission reduction targets, which are naturally widely recognized by the international community.
In the face of China's emission reductions and latest commitments, developed countries should seriously reassess their policies and actions. According to the statistics of the United States World Resources Institute, about 70% to 80% of the existing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere come from developed countries. Their historical emissions directly lead to the rise of global temperature and global climate change.
However, these developed countries are reluctant to face up to their historical emissions responsibilities and are reluctant to quantify their emission reduction targets in accordance with the “common but differentiated responsibilities†principle set out in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Instead, they are keen to strongly demand that developing countries Together, they shoulder historical responsibility and try to force China and other developing countries to reduce their total greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 by means of “carbon tariffsâ€. These unreasonable demands will only be condemned by the vast number of developing countries including China. Oppose. Developed countries have made tremendous progress in the industrialization stage by unrestricted emission of greenhouse gases. Now they have the obligation, ability and strength to take the lead in large-scale quantitative emission reduction, and promise to provide developing countries with technology development and transfer, and financial support. Support to promote the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Change Conference to reach an agreement to save the planet and all mankind.
