Carbon neutrality, the term for energy conservation and emission reduction, refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced directly or indirectly generated by enterprises, groups or individuals within a certain period of time, and offset their own production through afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction, etc. To achieve “zero emission” of carbon dioxide. The carbon peak refers to the steady decline of carbon emissions after entering the plateau period. [8] To put it simply, it means to "break-even" carbon dioxide emissions.
On September 22, 2020, the Chinese government proposed at the 75th UN General Assembly: “China will increase its nationally determined contributions, adopt more powerful policies and measures, and strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive for 2060. Achieve carbon neutrality years ago."
On March 5, 2021, the 2021 State Council Government Work Report pointed out that we should do a good job in carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, formulate an action plan for carbon emissions peaking by 2030, and optimize the industrial structure and energy structure .
Peak carbon dioxide emissions (peak carbon dioxide emissions) [48] Together with carbon neutral, it is referred to as "double carbon".
