When will the double carbon target start?

The goal of double carbon is to start from September 22, 2020.

On September 22nd, 2020, China put forward the goal of "double carbon" at the 75th UN General Assembly: carbon dioxide emissions should reach the peak by 2030, and carbon neutrality should be achieved by 2060. On May 26th, 20021,the first plenary meeting of the Leading Group for Carbon Neutralization with Peak Carbon Dioxide Emission was held in Beijing.

20211kloc-0/0 On October 24th, the Opinions on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job of Carbon Neutralization in Peak Carbon Dioxide Emission was released. As the "1" in the policy system of "1+N" for peak carbon dioxide emission, the Opinions are the systematic planning and overall deployment of carbon neutrality for peak carbon dioxide emission.

202 1 10 "Opinions on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job of Carbon Neutralization in Carbon Dioxide Emission Peak" and "Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Emission Peak by 2030" were successively issued, which established the key areas and industries for the top-level design of China's carbon dioxide emission peak and carbon neutrality "1N" policy system.

In August 2022, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other nine departments issued the Implementation Plan for Carbon Neutralization by Science and Technology to Support the Peak of Carbon Dioxide Emissions (2022-2030) (hereinafter referred to as the Implementation Plan), which made overall plans for scientific and technological innovation actions and safeguard measures to support the goal of achieving the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and made a good reserve for technology research and development to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

Significance of double detection targets

1. Addressing climate change: The goal of "double carbon" is to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, so as to alleviate the negative impact of global warming and climate change. By controlling and reducing emissions, we can reduce the content of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and slow down the speed and severity of climate change.

2. Protecting the ecological environment: The implementation of double carbon can promote sustainable development and green transformation, reduce over-exploitation and pollution of natural resources, and protect the integrity and stability of the ecosystem. By reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency, we can reduce environmental damage and maintain ecological balance.

3. Promote economic transformation and innovation: Double carbon can encourage enterprises and industries to develop and apply clean energy and low-carbon technologies, and promote economic transformation and innovation. Developing low-carbon economy and green industry can not only reduce emissions, but also create employment opportunities, enhance industrial competitiveness and promote sustainable development.
