What are "carbon peak" and "carbon neutral"?
Carbon peak refers to China's commitment that carbon dioxide emissions will not increase until 2030, and will gradually decrease after reaching the peak.
Carbon neutralization means that enterprises, groups or individuals calculate the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly generated within a certain period of time, and then offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated by themselves through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction, so as to achieve "zero emissions" of carbon dioxide.
Why put forward carbon neutralization?
Climate change is a global problem facing mankind. With the carbon dioxide emissions of various countries, greenhouse gases have increased sharply, posing a threat to the life system. In this context, countries around the world have reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the form of a global agreement, and China has put forward carbon peak and carbon neutral targets.
In addition, as the "factory of the world", China's industrial chain is gradually improving, its domestic manufacturing and processing capacity is increasing, and its carbon emissions are accelerating. However, China's oil and gas resources are relatively scarce. It is of great security significance to develop a low-carbon economy and reshape the energy system.
In recent years, China has actively participated in the international community's carbon emission reduction, actively complied with the global trend of green and low-carbon development, actively arranged carbon neutrality, and has met the conditions for achieving carbon neutrality.
What can we do to achieve carbon neutrality?
The realization of the goal of carbon neutrality is closely related to each of us. Turn off the computer in time, open a window, bring your own shopping bag, plant a tree... As long as you learn to subtract: emission reduction, pollution reduction, burden reduction, desire reduction, and deceleration, you can contribute to carbon neutrality and carbon reduction.
