Core Viewpoint - The establishment of a carbon-inclusive market is essential to address the structural gap in China's carbon market, which currently focuses on production-side emissions reduction while neglecting the consumption-side [1] Group 1: Carbon Inclusive Market Overview - The carbon-inclusive market targets individuals, families, communities, and small enterprises, effectively activating the significant emissions reduction potential on the consumption side [1] - It employs a voluntary participation model based on "behavior-quantification-incentive," transforming everyday low-carbon actions into standardized carbon reduction metrics with economic value [1][2] Group 2: Public Engagement and Behavioral Change - The carbon-inclusive market aims to bridge the "willingness-behavior" gap by quantifying and visualizing low-carbon actions, making emissions reductions measurable and traceable [2] - Diverse incentive measures are implemented to motivate public participation, integrating economic value, social recognition, and service benefits tailored to different demographics [2][3] Group 3: Institutional Channels for Public Participation - The market provides institutional channels for public involvement in environmental governance, creating a positive feedback loop of "public behavior-market signal-policy adjustment" [3] - It addresses data silos through a government-led public platform that connects multi-source data, simplifying public participation in emissions reduction [3] Group 4: Support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) - The carbon-inclusive market lowers participation barriers for SMEs, which often struggle to engage in existing carbon markets due to their size and capabilities [4] - It opens up diversified revenue channels for SMEs, allowing them to earn from emissions trading and benefit from policy incentives like government green procurement [4][5] Group 5: Policy Recommendations and Implementation Path - Systematic institutional and strategic support is necessary for building a robust carbon-inclusive market, including top-level design and regulatory frameworks [6] - Technological infrastructure should be developed using big data, blockchain, and IoT to create a unified carbon-inclusive platform for data integration [6][7] - A multi-faceted incentive mechanism is recommended, combining economic, policy, and social incentives to enhance participation effectiveness [6][7] Group 6: Regional Collaboration and Capacity Building - Regional collaboration should follow a "pilot first, gradient promotion, regional linkage" principle, focusing on areas like Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta [7] - Capacity-building initiatives are essential to enhance government oversight, corporate emissions management, and public engagement [7]
