以确定性转型破局 中国重塑全球气候治理新生态

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on January 1, 2026, complicates the global climate governance landscape, necessitating China's transition from an "important participant" to an "active leader" in global climate governance [1][2]. Group 1: China's Role in Global Climate Governance - China aims to respond to international climate rules' uncertainties through a systematic transformation towards a green and low-carbon economy, turning external pressures into high-quality development drivers [1]. - The country is positioned as a significant supplier of green production capacity, leveraging its full industrial chain technology advantages in solar, wind, and energy storage sectors [1]. - Projects like the Al Dhafra Solar Power Plant in the UAE, with a capacity of 2.1 GW, exemplify China's commitment to reducing carbon emissions by 2.4 million tons annually and supporting local employment [1]. Group 2: Renewable Energy Cooperation - Through South-South cooperation, China has initiated renewable energy technology transfer projects with countries like Ghana and Zambia, providing clean energy solutions and creating numerous job opportunities [2]. - The De Aar Wind Power Project in South Africa, developed by China National Energy Group, delivers 770 million kWh of clean electricity annually, benefiting 300,000 households and training over 110 local technicians [2]. Group 3: Strategic Responses to CBAM - To address the challenges posed by CBAM, China needs to implement a systematic strategy that includes accelerating the national carbon market's development and establishing a transparent carbon accounting system [3]. - The focus should be on integrating affected industries like steel, aluminum, and cement into carbon market rules and exploring carbon pricing mechanisms to avoid double payments [3]. Group 4: Industry Decarbonization and Competitiveness - The "carbon barrier" represents a competition in green competitiveness, and industries must deeply decarbonize to gain a competitive edge [4]. - Companies like Baosteel and Taiyuan Iron and Steel are leading the way in reducing carbon footprints through innovative processes and clean energy adoption, setting benchmarks for high-energy-consuming industries [4]. - The overall goal is to create a new advantage in green supply chains, making low-carbon practices central to high-quality industrial development [4].
