Research on Carbon Emission Trading Mechanism Including Forest Carbon Sinks

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the strict emissions control of greenhouse gases, the carbon source enterprises have to make a choice among the self-energy conservation to reduce emission ,allocation of emission right among enterprises and the purchase of forest carbon sinks. To implant forest carbon sinks to the carbon emission trading system, the carbon source enterprises with higher cost of emission reduction can undertake their corresponding emission reduction responsibility and reduce the emission cost, and the carbon source enterprises with lower cost of carbon emission reduction and the suppliers of forest carbon sinks can obtain the corresponding economic benefits. So the value compensation of forest ecological benefit can realized by market, which is beneficial to regulating the carbon emission behavior of carbon source enterprises, and encourages the carbon neutral behavior of forest carbon sinks, and promote the coordination and coupling of economic development and environmental protection.
