Research on China’s Environmental Law and Low-carbon Emission Economy Trade Surplus under the Background of Carbon Neutrality
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The significant presence of high-carbon industries in China’s export trade and the substantial trade surplus in recent years are key factors contributing to the increase in China’s carbon emissions. China’s current export trade model does not align with the requirements of low-carbon economic development. Considering China’s future emission reduction goals and responsibilities, we should aim to achieve a low-carbon trade transformation, establish a trading method that is compatible with developing a low-carbon economy, and actively promote the development of a low-carbon economy. Based on this premise, the paper utilizes the input-output model and low-carbon trade competitiveness indicators to empirically analyze China’s foreign trade implied carbon emissions and low-carbon trade competitiveness. It also investigates China’s foreign trade surplus.
