Zhao Kunyu, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC): The development of forestry carbon sinks will help achieve the "double carbon" goal

"As the largest ecosystem on land, forests play an irreplaceable role in reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the development of forestry carbon sinks is conducive to the maintenance of biodiversity and the development of understory economy and forest tourism and other related industries, which is an effective way to turn lucid waters and lush mountains into gold and silver mountains. At this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, Zhao Kunyu, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, director of the Heilongjiang Sanhuanpao National Nature Reserve Administration, and deputy chairman of the Jiamusi Municipal Committee of the Democratic League, paid special attention to the field of forestry carbon sinks.

She said that in recent years, although China has made some achievements in the development of forestry carbon sinks, the problems of weak forest infrastructure, single industrial structure, limited funds for ecological construction, and insufficient support and guarantee of ecological public services have not been effectively solved. Compared with the advantages of abundant resources, the ecological benefits of forests have not been monetized, and the speed and scale of forestry carbon sink development still need to be improved. She made the following recommendations.

Improve the legal system of forestry carbon sequestration

Forestry carbon sequestration is the marketization of the natural attributes of forest carbon sequestration, which is an asset with property rights, and clear property rights are a necessary prerequisite for trading. It is necessary to speed up the reform of the forest tenure system, make the qualifications of the subject clearer through registration and the issuance of property rights certificates, and provide legal evidence for market transactions. It is necessary to improve the policies and regulations on forestry carbon sink trading, and form unified norms and requirements for the forestry carbon sink trading market to ensure the orderly development of the forestry carbon sink trading market.

Strengthen financial support for forestry carbon sequestration policies

It is necessary to establish a policy incentive mechanism for carbon emission reduction as soon as possible, including the establishment of a carbon emission reduction investment mechanism that matches financial resources, catalyze the process of low-carbon product and technological innovation through tax exemption and exemption, subsidies and industry leader policies, actively promote the implementation of carbon sink compensation mechanism, and promote the increase of carbon service supply capacity;

Improve the technical level of forestry carbon sink measurement

The carbon sink method, the selection of carbon sink measurement standards and the carbon sink trading rules determine the price of carbon sinks. In order to form a unified market and better integrate with the international market, the carbon sink measurement system, trading rules and trading standards should be unified and standardized. Establish relevant carbon sink assessment, measurement and monitoring institutions, strengthen the research and demonstration of forestry carbon sink trading standards, trading rules and trading software systems, and formulate unified and standardized forestry carbon sink measurement standards, monitoring systems and trading systems.

Build a regional trading platform for forestry carbon sequestration

Forestry carbon sequestration trading is an important supplementary mechanism in carbon emission trading, a market-oriented channel for ecological compensation, and an important way to transform "lucid waters and lush mountains" into "gold and silver mountains" and promote the realization of ecological value. The operation of the forestry carbon sink market requires a certain trading platform, infrastructure is the basic place to ensure the operation of the market, the government should actively build or encourage the construction of exchanges and intermediary service institutions, in the early stage of development will also help to promote the promotion of carbon sink trading. At the same time, the forestry carbon sink trading platform can not only have the function of trading, but also have the function of releasing information to the public, which also plays an attractive role for enterprises and individuals who have not yet participated in forestry carbon sink trading, which is conducive to transforming the potential supply and demand sides of forestry carbon sink trading into actual forestry carbon sink project traders and promoting the development of forestry carbon sink.
