Abstract

In recent years, the issue of carbon neutral has gradually become the focus of global climate governance. Some developed countries and the European Union have always been pioneers of global climate actions. China proposes to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2060, showing China’s determination to follow the path of low-carbon recovery and green development. China will face tremendous pressure and difficulties, compared with developed countries’ transition from “carbon peak” to “carbon neutral” in a shorter time. Lacking in clear carbon neutral path planning and legislative regulations, China should reasonably learn from the EU’s climate ecology concepts, experience and leading system design of climate governance. Comparing current social foundation, China should actively construct a carbon neutral legal and regulatory system and implementation path in line with China’s social development, promote a benign interaction between economic development and ecological optimization, so as to steadily achieve China’s carbon neutral goal and rank the forefront of international climate governance.
