The policies of countries are not static. With the continuous development of society, many policies will be adjusted according to actual conditions. But in the next few decades, one thing has been confirmed, that is, must be achieved carbon neutrality by 2060.

Speaking of carbon neutrality, many people probably have heard of it, but not many people understand what carbon neutrality is. In September 2020, my country made a commitment to the world on UN General Assembly , which promised that by 2060, greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide emitted into the air every year in my country must completely offset the greenhouse gases digested by my country and achieve the goal of not causing any trouble to the earth. This is the essence of carbon neutrality.

. A great country takes responsibility and takes the world as its own responsibility. The scope of carbon emissions is very wide. Not only is the exhaust pipe discharged from black smoke, but people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are emitting carbon. For example, the beef we eat, raising a cow emits more carbon emissions every year than a car; traditional power generation is emitting carbon, driving is emitting carbon, and even if you lie in bed and sleep, you are emitting carbon. According to statistics, my country's annual carbon emissions account for about 28% of the world, which is equivalent to the total carbon emissions of , EU , the United States and Japan. At this time, some "environmental emperors" in the West popped up and asked us to reduce carbon emissions and even eat less meat.

This is too broad. You should know that we are developing country . China is engaged in industrial manufacturing, and carbon emissions are inevitable. And Western countries have passed the stage of development, and many of them have transferred domestic industrial manufacturing abroad to pollute the environment of other countries and started the financial services industry themselves. is now calling for environmental protection and carbon neutrality, and is completely shameless when you stand and speak without back pain.

In fact, my country's per capita carbon emissions are not high, only about 7 tons, but the United States has 16 tons of per capita carbon emissions, and my country's historical carbon emissions account for only 13% of the world. Furthermore, carbon neutrality is a private matter. All countries can manage themselves well, and others can't control them. If you don’t believe it, you can see that Europe, which first proposed the concept of carbon neutrality, is now decisively throwing carbon neutrality aside due to the energy crisis.

It is logical that our country is engaged in our carbon neutrality, and there is no need to establish a Flag in United Nations , but we still decided to move the carbon neutrality target to the table, which is to truly consider this from the perspective of the interests of all mankind. has statistics. Since human industrialization, the global average temperature has risen by 1.1 degrees compared with the past and is still rising. Warm winter has become a common phenomenon in modern times. If everyone sweeps the snow in front of their doors, then perhaps the earth will soon become unsuitable for human habitation. Therefore, our country stands up to do something for the interests of all mankind, take responsibility for a great country, and take the world as its responsibility.

2. Is carbon neutrality only for environmental protection?

Carbon neutrality planning cycle lasts for decades, and the country needs to invest huge financial resources and resources. Is it just for environmental protection issues? No, there is another core involved - the new energy industry. Carbon neutrality promotes the development of the new energy industry, and the new energy industry helps achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.

The majority of my country's carbon emissions are traditional energy power generation, such as thermal power generation, accounting for 51% of the national carbon emissions. The second is manufacturing, with many manufacturing factories accounting for 28% of the country's carbon emissions. The total carbon emissions of the entire transportation industry account for 10%, which includes aircraft, ships, cars, etc. Take out the car order and the car's carbon emissions only account for 7% of the total. means that all cars are parked, and everyone will ride bicycles or walk to work in the future, and the realization of carbon neutrality will be a drop in the bucket.

However, my country is developing rapidly in the field of new energy vehicles and is already at the forefront of the international market. The reason why new energy vehicles are given priority is not because of their exhaust gas emissions, but because of another reason - oil. my country's oil relies heavily on imports and spends more than 200 billion US dollars to purchase oil every year, and 90% of the imported oil is consumed in cars. The current international situation, energy depends on imports, and maybe someone else will be stuck at any time, which is something we cannot accept.

Secondly, oil has the biggest problem, which is its binding with the US dollar. Now there are more and more voices of "de-dollarization" around the world, but imported oil can only be settled in US dollars, which is equivalent to supporting the US dollar. So if one day gets rid of oil dependence, it will get rid of the US dollar to a certain extent, and the "dollar hegemony" will be self-defeating.

3. Carbon neutrality promotes industrial upgrading

Some people think that carbon neutrality is a variety of points, turn on less air conditioning and driving less. Some people may see that carbon neutrality can solve my country's dependence on imported oil. But looking deeper, carbon neutrality is a caliper for economic transformation, which can solve the industrial layout problem of my country's overall economic structure.

First of all, if you want to achieve carbon neutrality, the key is two things: reducing carbon emissions and developing new energy. The reform of in the power generation field is to gradually ban the traditional power generation model of burning coal and gas, and change it to new energy power generation ; the automotive field is to ban fuel vehicles and develop new energy vehicles. The reform of manufacturing is to upgrade industries or build factories abroad.

A industrial upgrading under the requirements of carbon neutrality, those domestic high-emission, high energy consumption and high pollution manufacturing companies will be eliminated. or the manufacturing industry is transferred abroad, just like developed Western countries, enjoying the model of world labor working for us, while only high-tech industries are in China. In this way, there is a chance to achieve the treatment of developed countries with a double break and even three or four days of shifts a week.

Home has also come from the "world foundry", but now our manufacturing ratio has dropped to 27%, even lower than that of some developed countries. What kind of manufacturing industry is the manufacturing industry we want? High efficiency, high added value, low pollution, and this is fully in line with the requirements of carbon neutrality. is equivalent to using the ruler of carbon neutrality to measure the industries most needed for economic development. This is the deeper meaning of carbon neutrality.

Conclusion

Carbon neutrality expresses our kindness and responsibility to the world, and points out the general direction of national industrial upgrading. In the next few decades, the carbon neutrality policy will be firmly implemented and implemented throughout the year, and this may contain countless development opportunities, and those who are interested can be prepared.
