欧元在1999年诞生之后逐渐成为全球第二大货币。20多年来，欧盟一直努力推动欧元的国际化进程，但 欧元的全球角色未能获得显著提升。欧洲央行《2024年欧元国际地位》报告显示，在国际货币使用的主 要指标中，欧元份额达到19%以上，但与美元的差距依然没能缩小。而且，近年来欧元在全球外汇储 备、国际存款余额、国际贷款余额及全球外汇结算等指标上处于占比下降趋势。欧盟虽然以"国际地位 保持稳定"为欧元打气鼓劲，但仍难掩在扩大欧元全球影响力方面力有不逮的现状。 欧元自创立之日起就带有国际化基因，但追求国际货币主导地位并非主要初衷。欧元被认为是欧洲一体 化进程在经济领域的最高成就之一，促其诞生的政治逻辑远远超出经济逻辑。当时，欧洲经济一体化在 经历关税同盟、共同市场等建设后，共同货币成为降低各成员国交易成本、进一步实现凝聚整合的关键 举措，放弃货币这一重要国家主权，也是各成员国命运与共、建构欧洲精神与认同的一大标志。 事实上，罗伯特·蒙代尔等经济学家以及欧洲自身政策评估，都曾对欧洲推进共同货币的经济条件和基 础抱有质疑。不过，冷战结束后德国统一问题与欧洲一体化建设相互关联，客观上为德国融入欧洲一体 化进程、欧洲各国命运相连 ...

作为绿电交易的补充手段，上海绿证交易同样增长迅速。2024年，上海绿证采购突破2000万张，较 2023年增长40余倍。绿证全称是绿色电力证书，是一种被广泛认可的绿电消费凭证，通常1绿证单位等 于1000千瓦时可再生能源电量。企业如果无法直接购买到绿电，可以购买绿证以支持绿电。这相当于进 行了绿电消费，是企业减排降碳的重要补充手段。 "上海企业对绿电的需求越来越多，供应存在一定的堵点。"上海电力交易中心交易部主管朱皇儒介 绍，上海地处华东电网末端，我国绿电资源主要在西部和北部地区，需通过跨区特高压交直流转送，这 导致省间送电通道富余空间有限。 为了疏解绿电传输堵点，上海正在从渠道、对接等多个环节想办法。绿电输送渠道包括市内绿电、 省间绿电两种主要途径。市内绿电方面，上海于去年11月启动首批市内绿电交易，当年累计成交5000万 千瓦时。今年一季度，上海再成交6亿千瓦时市内绿电。省间绿电方面，上海正在开展重大绿电工程前 期工作。据悉，上海正在推动一西一东两大绿电超级工程：西向是加快推进蒙电入沪工程，东向是在崇 明东部国管海域布局大型海上风电基地。 绿电购买环节也需畅通。记者从上海市节能协会了解到，本届碳博会上，上 ...
