American media: Chinese city leads the road to reducing carbon reduction

The US "Science Daily" website on August 25th, the original title: The latest research on the road to led carbon reduction in Chinese cities found that 38 cities in China have reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide at least 5 consecutive years of economic and population growth. ——This cities are defined as active reaches of the city. In addition, 21 cities have also reduced carbon emissions due to economic or population declines -these cities are defined as passive reducing cities.

Experts have found that active Dafeng cities such as Beijing and Taizhou have reduced emission reduction by improving energy utilization efficiency and changing energy structure, while passive reduction cities such as Fuxin and Shenyang may reduce carbon emissions due to economic recession or population loss. Experts suggest that the "one -size -fits -all" method can be adopted, and formulating the city emission reduction goals need to consider the current status, industrialization, socioeconomic characteristics, and development goals of different cities. Cities with backward technology and low production efficiency should formulate strict emission reduction policies and goals, and in the underdeveloped areas may have relatively large emission space to develop the economy.

The international scientific research team led by the University of Birmingham University, the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and Tsinghua University in China analyzed the list of carbon dioxide emissions from 287 cities in China from 2001 to 2019, and issued the results of the investigation in the "Scientific Report". The first author of the report, associate professor of Birmingham University, and Dr. Shan Yuli, the leader of the Chinese carbon accounting database (CEADS) team discipline, commented: "The experience and lessons of 59 carbon dioxide emission reduction cities in China can be used as benchmarks in other cities. China is the world's carbon dioxide The discharged power, these cities have achieved world -reducing emission reduction achievements. "" The influence of carbon emissions driving factors varies from place to place. Cities that have achieved emission reduction should lead the realization of China's double carbon targets during the development process -strive to strive for 2030 Realize carbon peaks before, carbon neutrality in 2060. "

Professor Guan Dabo, the founder of CEADS, and Tsinghua University, commented that "reducing each ton of carbon emissions is not easy, and the emission reduction strategy must be adapted to local conditions. China plays an increasingly important role in slowing the global climate change. Local governments are in When formulating a low -carbon policy, collect more information about local emissions trends and models. "

Researchers point out that cities are the key to slowing climate change-urban economic activities have contributed 80%of the global GDP, 60%-80%of energy consumption, and 75%of carbon emissions, but cities also have administrative capabilities to implement targets Sexual emission reduction measures.
