Pathways and Innovative Mechanisms for Achieving Urban Carbon Neutrality
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of the traditional carbon emissions trading mechanism, such as failing to effectively incorporate carbon sinks into the carbon market and failing to adequately incentivise the economic and ecological development of cities, and proposes a new urban carbon neutral trading system to solve these problems. The new urban carbon neutral trading system is based on the city as a unit, and by fully integrating carbon sinks into the trading system, it adopts the market mechanism to regulate the balance between carbon emissions and carbon sinks, so as to realise the coordinated development of the urban economy and the green environment. In addition, this study develops a comprehensive evaluation index system for urban carbon neutrality, and uses big data and intelligent analysis techniques to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of urban carbon management. These innovations not only help strengthen urban environmental management, but also promote urban economic transformation and provide theoretical support for sustainable regional economic growth.
