资源要素市场化再突破！碳排放权、用水权、排污权交易制度2027年基本完善｜政在发声

Core Viewpoint - The construction of water rights and pollutant discharge rights trading markets will accelerate, marking a new phase in the market-oriented allocation of resource and environmental factors in China [1][5]. Group 1: Policy Framework - The State Council issued the "Opinions on Improving the Market-oriented Allocation System for Resource and Environmental Factors," aiming to deepen the reform of market-oriented allocation [1]. - By 2027, the carbon emission rights and water rights trading systems are expected to be fundamentally improved, and the pollutant discharge rights trading system will be established [1]. - The policy emphasizes the integration of carbon emission rights, energy rights, water rights, and pollutant discharge rights into the overall reform framework [1]. Group 2: Market Development - The national carbon emission trading market has expanded to include 1,500 new key emission units, covering over 60% of the total carbon dioxide emissions in the country [3]. - The carbon market is still in its early stages, with low trading turnover and a high proportion of bulk transactions [3]. - The current trading entities in the carbon market are mainly emission control enterprises, with financial institutions and individuals currently not allowed to participate [3]. Group 3: Future Directions - The "Opinions" propose enhancing the connection between carbon emission trading and dual control systems, transitioning from intensity control to total quota control [4]. - Financial institutions' participation in the carbon market is expected to enhance market stability and liquidity, which will improve price capabilities [4]. - The introduction of carbon futures and the establishment of a carbon financial trading system are recommended to promote a synergistic relationship between the futures and spot markets [4]. Group 4: Water and Pollutant Discharge Rights - The construction of water rights and pollutant discharge rights trading markets is gaining momentum, with the Ministry of Water Resources issuing management rules for water rights trading [6]. - The pollutant discharge rights trading system is transitioning from local pilot practices to a national unified market [6]. - The "Opinions" detail the allocation system, trading scope, and trading mechanisms for water and pollutant discharge rights [6]. Group 5: Challenges and Opportunities - The regional variability of water resources and pollutant discharge capacities presents challenges for creating high liquidity and standardized markets for water and pollutant discharge rights [7]. - The policy aims to establish a closed-loop system for allocation, trading, and regulation similar to the carbon market, despite existing differences in technical foundations and legislative progress [7]. - Financial institutions' involvement in water and pollutant discharge rights markets is deemed necessary for optimizing resource allocation and achieving environmental protection goals [8].
