Academic innovation empower low -carbon economy development

Since its own country has proposed carbon peaks, carbon neutrality, green and low -carbon has become an important theme for my country's economic development. In the field of economics, it has also produced academic innovation achievements that pay attention to climate change and are committed to governing climate and environmental problems with economic means, and injecting continuous green energy into the rapid development of my country's low -carbon economy.

Academic research flourish

The low -carbon economy is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve the economic development mode of low energy consumption and low pollution. At present, the economics community has produced many valuable results around the low -carbon economy. At the micro level, the economics community promotes the spontaneous adjustment of market forces to reduce carbon emissions through pricing for pollution. Specifically, it is to build a carbon trading market based on the distribution of carbon quotas. Based on this, the types of carbon financial products are broaden and the main body of the trading market is expanded. At the macro level, it is mainly committed to studying the impact of environmental pollution and governance on overall economic and social benefits. In the 2018 Nobel Prize in Economics, William Nordhaus incorporated environmental costs into traditional macroeconomics models and proposed a dynamic comprehensive model of climate and economy.

Low -carbon economy involves multiple different fields such as energy and environmental management. In order to serve the country's dual carbon strategy, more and more colleges and universities are actively engaged in the field, and related basic courses are opened under first -level disciplines such as economic or environmental majors to train basic talents. In order to adapt to the special attributes of low -carbon economy disciplines, some universities have begun to establish related research institutes to cultivate compound professional talents for the development of low -carbon economy. For example, the Beijing Institute of Technology's Energy and Environmental Policy Research Center conducts systematic research on scientific issues in the energy economy and climate policy; the China Energy Policy Research Institute of Xiamen University proposes a carbon neutral and systemic scheme covering the supply side and demand side. In addition, the “Carbon Economy” master's degree authorization point of the School of Applied Economics of Renmin University of China has also been approved recently. As a cross -economics department that integrates national economic management, regional economy, industrial economy, energy economy, environmental economy, and finance, the future development of carbon economy disciplines is worth looking forward to.

Helping the overall situation of double carbon strategy

At present, my country has successfully established the national carbon emissions trading market. In the future, in addition to meeting the increase in energy consumption needs of economic growth, my country's low -carbon development must also replace huge stocks. In the process, no matter on the consumption side or the supply side, a large number of industrial opportunities will be given.

Focusing on the construction of a low -carbon economy, it can provide a large number of professional talent reserves for China's low -carbon development and provide a realistic foundation for the development of related industries. Lin Boqiang, Dean of the China Energy Policy Research Institute of Xiamen University, introduced that in the future, new energy systems with clean power as the main body will mainly include wind power, photovoltaic, electric vehicles, energy storage, green hydrogen, carbon capture, smart grids, etc. Provide a large number of jobs and industrial development opportunities. Carbon neutrality is a systematic social engineering that involves various fields. It is necessary to achieve a combination of market -oriented means and system mechanism design.

The formulation of reasonable and effective decisions requires strong basic scientific research accumulation and discipline construction. According to Wei Chu, deputy dean of the School of Applied Economics of Renmin University of China, carbon economics can help us formulate green tax policies and pollution pricing, promote carbon financial asset analysis and carbon market analysis and prediction, and promote market forces to spontaneously regulate environmental pollution. In addition, carbon economics can further help manage and develop green financial products, such as green credit, green bonds, and green funds to guide resources to areas that are conducive to green development; carbon economics can also be calculated through emission accounting and environmental costs. Accurately evaluate the pollution emission of various industries in various regions, coordinate the environmental protection responsibilities of different regions, different industries and different individuals, and achieve environmental protection and economic coordinated development. In international coordination fields such as international trade negotiations such as international relations and climate change negotiations, green trade and green barriers, carbon economics can also play a role.

Liao Hua, deputy director of the Energy and Environmental Policy Research Center of Beijing Institute of Technology, believes that with the changes in the domestic and foreign environment, my country's low -carbon economy has transformed from the international emission reduction requirements of global climate change negotiations to the vitality of domestic transformation and development. In the future, low -carbon development will be an inevitable requirement for the coordinated development of economy, climate, environment and society. Emerging carbon diploma plays an important role in my country's future strategic development. Yao Xin, a professor at the China Energy Economic Research Center of Xiamen University, said that the new discipline generated by the low -carbon economy will promote the integration of the dual -carbon strategy and various disciplines, and make the dual carbon strategy play a greater role.

Innovate and develop a low -carbon economy discipline system

my country's energy industry has built the world's largest energy system. According to the "Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on fully and accurately implement the new development concept to do a good job of carbon -peak carbon neutralization work", by 2060, the economic system and cleaning low -carbon safe and efficient energy system of green low -carbon cycle development in my country will be comprehensive Establish, energy utilization has reached the international advanced level, and the proportion of non -fossil energy consumption has reached more than 80%. Therefore, low -carbon -related technologies may become a high point in the future, and low -carbon technology talents will also be the focus of the construction and training of talent teams.

Adhering to the problem -oriented and strengthening teamwork is the focus of building a low -carbon economy -related discipline. Lin Boqiang said that it is imminent to strengthen the investment in discipline construction at the national level. The low -carbon research institutes established by colleges and universities should give full play to the advantages of the university's characteristic discipline and academic expertise, combine and coordinate other related low -carbon disciplines, achieve complementary advantages, and strengthen discipline cooperation. Contribute Chinese wisdom to the reform of the global energy governance system. Wei Chu believes that building a low -carbon economy discipline system needs to face the major realistic needs of my country, actively assume the glorious mission given by the times, and insist on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the specific reality of China to enhance the service of the country, the society, and the people of the people Activity. The development of carbon economy disciplines needs to be based on the existing economics disciplines, to carry out construction in many fields such as carbon production, carbon consumption, carbon planning and control, carbon finance, and carbon international trade and investment. At the same time, pay attention to the cultivation of practical skills, strengthen the training and introduction of talents; we must take root in the land of the motherland, pay attention to Chinese data, discover Chinese cases, develop Chinese theory, and follow and participate in the construction of outstanding results of international academic frontier. Yao Xin proposes that we should participate more actively in the international climate game, and more participate in the formulation of various climate change policies, and transform my country's development advantage into international discourse advantages. As a result, it is particularly important to promote the integration of carbon economics and modern media disciplines.
