Yesterday, the Chinese economy Forum of 50 members of the Academic Council, China Fan Gang, director of National Economic Research Institute said in Beijing, the U.S. Congress has basically given up on climate change programs to intensify the implementation of border adjustment tax, levying a “carbon tariff” attempts.

Fan Gang is “Towards low-carbon development: China and the world – China economist’s recommendations” conference on the study made the above remarks.

The report and recommendations of the first advocates ICP launched a new international plan of action that the “International Convention on emissions.”

This was the first economist to the world system, full expression of global warming and reducing carbon emissions point of view and suggestions.

The report by the Forum of China’s economy 50 the research team completed. Experts involved in the subject group were 50 Chinese Economic Forum of 10 economists, including the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group Office of the deputy director of the Liu He, deputy chairman of the NPC Financial and Economic Wu Xiaoling, general manager of Central Huijin Investment Co., Ltd. Xie ping, Lin Yifu, World Bank Vice President and others.

Economic Forum, China’s economy 50 were composed by well-known Chinese economist, there is China’s economic “think tank” called.

The “clean development mechanism” under

Fan Gang said that the current international emission reduction of only two channels of coordination mechanisms: CDM, which developed and developing countries for carbon market trading system as well as multi-country funds (MF) mechanism, the lack of international collaboration at the national level emissions system, there is no between a country’s system of financial support and technology transfer programs.

In addition, the developed countries to developing countries financial and technical support too little. CDM credits for each year of the transfer of funds of only 80 million U.S. dollars, while the multi-national Fund for the current total is also only 10 billion U.S. dollars. CDM in the carbon trading is a market mechanism, its funding and technology transfer occurred in the private sector, but the reduction is a global public goods requires a large number of public facilities as well as national-level investments in R & D and pilot project, and these are difficult to effectively implement the market mechanism.

Multi-country fund is to support R & D and pilot projects, while the CDM is mainly “to pay later” mechanism. But developing countries to successfully achieve large-scale emission reduction, requiring substantial early infrastructure and investment in technology and equipment updates. Can only be a “post pay” mechanism, so there is no mechanism to pay, and many mitigation actions in developing countries simply can not start.

In the current system, the developing countries as one of the major parties are excluded. Even the CDM in this narrow platform, but also by the interests of their clients are likely to be inconsistent with or in conflict with a “middleman” driven.

“Collaboration between countries reduce emissions,” the connotation of

He pointed out, the report recommends the ICP, with the CDM mechanism, as in both developed and developing countries, and to comply with “measurable”, “may be certified,” “may report” principle. But the ICP mechanism more emphasis on collaboration between countries, emphasizing the transfer of technology developed at the national level and funding allocation commitments, as well as the gradual reduction strategy for developing countries to implement the commitments, and there are essential differences between CDM.

Report stresses, ICP value of the mechanism lies in its proposed climate change mitigation program from host-country national sustainable development objectives, and thus the state-owned long-term positive impact in developing countries. This goal in China is to build a “resource-saving and environment-friendly society.”

First of all, it is not to participate in a limited reduction in developing countries, either continue to participate in international carbon trading based on the CDM can also develop their own national emissions reduction plan, to participate in ICP mechanism to receive the transfer of technology and capital allocation in developed countries, to complete the reduction. Calculating emission reductions in developed countries “external emission reduction” credits.

Second, the developed countries in the ICP mechanism, will be developing a “cooperative partner countries reduce emissions.” For some developing countries in emission reduction plan, several developed countries could form a “partner countries reduce emissions Mission” joint participation.

Third, with the CDM, like, ICP mechanism by developed countries through technology transfer and its own configuration to achieve emission reductions included in the developed countries “external abatement” of the credits. This will help developed countries to reduce emissions cost-effectively facilitate the transfer of technology from developed to developing countries and capital allocation.

Fourth, the mechanism of the developed countries need to participate in ICP commitment: the transfer of emission reduction technology needed to remove or block any technical limitations; according to their need for external reduction of international capital allocation. Committed funds can be used in two ways, in part for the establishment of an international emissions reduction fund international strategic, pilot projects, while the main part of the mechanism for the ICP.

Fifth, to participate in ICP mechanism for developing countries, may undertake to enter the “threshold channel”, once the national emissions to reach a predetermined “threshold” standard, that is, by adding a limited emission reduction agreements; if a country has attained a full international technical transfer and international capital allocation, then the country should be based on the relative reduction in the level of emissions will be the “threshold” be appropriately reduced.

The proposed sign “International Convention on emissions”

Report released yesterday that the lack of a fair and reasonable to all countries equally involved in emission reduction agreements, and effective international cooperation, in particular North-South co-operation between emission reduction mechanisms, developing countries can not be voluntary, and effective emissions control the global the total amount of emissions targets will ring hollow.

Therefore, the report recommends a new international plan of action – “International Convention on emissions.” The main points, including by “historical aggregate consumption, emissions” calculation of national “responsibility”; according to national per capita income and ability to pay determination of the countries the size of the crowd, “emission reduction capacity”; Based on the above two indicators measure the standard, well-known countries are should be the issue of emission reduction efforts, but this is not necessarily to identify each country should immediately join the ” ‘limited objectives’ emission reduction contribution” to target the agreement, backward countries can be “voluntary emission reduction”; to “the Kyoto Protocol, “under the” Annex I “countries from 1850 to 2005″ per capita aggregate consumption, emissions of the “minimum state value (ie Romania, 144 tons of carbon dioxide) as the” entry threshold “; in the” entry threshold “for the above should be made ” ‘limited objectives’ emission reduction contribution” of the country, have not yet reached the standard of the country, a voluntary emission reduction, voluntary emission reduction more, you can postpone its accession to the more “limited objectives” emissions reduction agreement time.

Prospects of China’s future emissions reductions, the report suggested that China should continue its “no regrets” emissions, including improving energy efficiency and reform of regulatory instruments; speed up the adjustment of energy structure and reduce the proportion of fossil energy; the implementation of the promotion of low-carbon economic development, systems and policies incentive measures, such as carbon trading, taxes on energy or carbon taxes and adopt a variety of fiscal policy; more new energy and energy-saving technologies for government support of research and development efforts; actively participate in international collaborative energy-saving emission reduction.
