Baoding becomes a pilot city for the National Climate Investment and Financing: What dividends will it get?

Original title: Hebei Baoding has become a pilot city for national climate investment and financing: What dividends will the pilot area get

On August 10, 2022, nine ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Notice on the announcement of the list of pilots of climate investment and financing", which announced the list of climate investment and financing pilot.

Climate investment and financing refers to the realization of the country's independent contribution and low -carbon development goals, guiding and promoting investment and financing activities in the field of climate change in the field of climate change. It is an important part of green finance. Under the "dual carbon" goal, low -carbon transformation brings a million -level financing gap, and it is urgent to accelerate the guidance of social capital to invest in the field of climate change.

In December 2021, nine departments such as the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the "Notice on the Pilot Work of Climate Investment and Financing" and the "Plan for Climate Investment and Financing Pilot" (referred to as the "Plan"). Essence The pilot work of climate investment and financing requires that the local government adheres to the principles of "central coordination, local dominance; classification and policies, key breakthroughs; regular evaluation, summary promotion", fully combine the actual situation of local development, and implement differentiated development routes and models.

Baoding City is a typical city of economic development and traditional industrial transformation in Hebei Province. It is also the first batch of low -carbon pilot cities in the country. After overall organizational organization, plan preparation, public defense and expert review, Baoding City, as the first batch of pilot application cities, has taken the lead in obtaining the climate. Equity and financing pilot qualification.

Baoding City has a good low -carbon policy foundation and a strong low -carbon industry foundation, and has leadership in low -carbon transformation related financial policies, scientific and technological innovation and international cooperation. The Hebei Provincial Government and the Baoding Municipal Government attach great importance to the application of climate investment and financing pilot application. As the first batch of cities to apply for climate investment and financing pilot, Baoding City actively prepares and advances. The application work contributes professional wisdom.

Guangdong Southern Carbon Capture and Sealing Industry Center (referred to as "CCUS Center") and the Zero Carbon Development Research Institute of Phoenix Valley in Hebei Province participated in the preparation of the "Pilot Work Plan for Climate Investment and Financing" and "Pilot Implementation Plan for Climate Investment and Financing" And research work, through unit research, corporate visits, information finishing, and plan discussions, assist Baoding City to propose the "ten one" implementation goals and local climate investment and financing project construction plans for the pilot work of climate investment and financing to apply for the application for the pilot of climate investment and financing of Baoding City The work provides strong support. In the next step, the CCUS Center will continue to contribute the wisdom of "double carbon" to the national departments, local governments, and industry enterprises, promote the development of low -carbon transformation and climatic investment and financing in the whole society, and help realize the vision of carbon peak carbon neutrality and target.

The country's first batch of climate investment and financing pilots include 23 cities. What benefits can climate investment and financing bring to local development? Professor Liang Xi, Secretary -General of the CCUS Center and a member of the Standing Committee of the China Environmental Science Society, predicts that the pilot of climate investment and financing is a long -term job for the national department and pilot cities. Gradually form a stronger policy joint through long -term operation. Professor Liang is expected to have a subtle effect on the green transformation of the local real estate industry, the green transformation of financial institutions and residents' lives, and will be able to moisturize and gradually release the policy and industrial dividends. Potential benefits:

First, through the pilot of climate investment and financing, it will guide the domestic and foreign climate -friendly industries to settle in pilot cities. Carbon and carbon -carbon neutrality is a systematic change, and has the need for transformation and upgrading to energy, industry, transportation, housing construction, agriculture, and trade. With the implementation of a series of specific work involved in the pilot, it will create a beautiful business card, enhance the investment environment in the two -carbon context, and become an important vane for the introduction of dual -carbon -related industries. The world's top 500 companies need to be achieved, and it is also conducive to attracting dual carbon -related technology projects and teams in combination with risk capital.

The second is to help pilot cities attract climate funds. It is expected that carbon neutrality will require one trillion -level funds. Many climate investment and financing pilots propose disclosure of carbon accounting and climate information, accelerate the establishment of carbon neutralized industrial parks, etc., which will help attract domestic and foreign climate -friendly funds, and fundamentally improve the efficiency of funds. Carbon transformation and climate adapt to the burden of infrastructure investment and financing. Some cities have taken the lead in providing convenient research on the introduction of international climate funds in foreign exchange control.

Third, the construction of climate investment and financing project libraries is conducive to improving investment and financing efficiency. Each pilot area proposes the construction plan for climate investment and financing project libraries, and the state encourages all places to carry out project library construction innovation, and allows differentiation. The project library will provide financing guarantee and policy support for the development of major projects, accelerate the matching of funds and the project, and accurately identify public funds and policy needs, and improve market efficiency.

Fourth, pilot areas may give priority to carbon financial innovation. The carbon -based carbon price system based on the carbon market is the core element that promotes the actual actions of various industries. Climate investment and financing pilots can first launch carbon exchange, quota, voluntary displacement, and carbon assets in accordance with the needs of regional industrial development. And policy tools are conducive to active local climate financial segments and help enterprises carry out climate risk management. If the carbon market is connected with climate investment and financing in the future, it will bring more benefits to pilot cities.
