广东省作为国家首批低碳试点省份之一，近年来积极探索开展碳足迹管理工作。早在2022年1月， 就推动成立广东省碳标签专业委员会，率先在省级层面发布"广东碳标签"，作为对应产品的碳足迹量化 标识。截至今年9月底，共有128家企业获得146张广东碳标签证书，覆盖新能源乘用车轮胎、电力电 缆、柴汽油、空调等24类产品，为建立广东省碳足迹管理体系奠定了坚实基础。 今年8月底，广东省生态环境厅会同广东省发展改革委等16个部门，印发实施《广东省碳足迹管理 体系建设工作方案》（以下简称《工作方案》），加快构建广东省碳足迹管理体系，推动企业绿色低碳 转型升级，促进广东高质量发展。 开展碳足迹核算管理，企业可以有针对性地开展节能降碳改造，推动绿色低碳转型。《工作方案》 明确要逐步探索开展重点行业产品碳足迹分级管理，加大金融政策的支持力度，加大政府对低碳产品的 采购支持力度，鼓励先进低碳技术，推动落后产能淘汰，从而提升行业整体绿色低碳水平。 建立碳足迹管理体系，引导和激励公众更多选择低碳产品，将消费需求传导至生产端，还将促进形 成绿色生产和消费以及绿色供应链的良性循环。以举办十五届全运会为契机，广东省选择部分十五届全 运会特许经营 ...

Core Viewpoint - The establishment of a product carbon footprint grading management system is crucial for China's carbon footprint management framework, aimed at evaluating and categorizing product carbon emissions to promote reductions in carbon footprints [1] Domestic and International Carbon Footprint Management Policies - Major countries and regions are implementing diverse carbon footprint grading policies to drive green and low-carbon transitions, with the EU mandating lifecycle grading for batteries under the new battery law [2] - The US employs a Climate Conscious labeling system to guide low-carbon consumption, categorizing products into gold, silver, and bronze based on their total lifecycle carbon emissions [2] - France requires environmental labels to display carbon footprint scores for textiles, with a grading system from A to E [2] - China, the US, and Singapore are leading in carbon footprint grading management in the automotive sector, with China establishing standards for battery emissions [3] - Other countries like South Korea and Thailand are also developing carbon footprint grading systems for various products [3] Challenges in Establishing China's Product Carbon Footprint Grading Management System - There is a lack of a unified and comprehensive management mechanism in China, with current efforts being limited and lacking systematic design compared to developed countries [4] - The foundation for accounting standards and factor data is weak, with many product categories lacking established carbon footprint factors [4][5] - Market participation is uneven, with insufficient incentives for companies to engage in carbon footprint grading, particularly affecting small and medium-sized enterprises [5] - There is a shortage of technology and talent in carbon footprint accounting, with existing tools not meeting market demands [5] Recommendations for Accelerating the Establishment of China's Product Carbon Footprint Grading Management System - A top-level institutional framework should be established to enhance the grading management policies, setting clear goals and implementation paths [6] - A robust standard and factor data foundation should be developed, creating a comprehensive carbon footprint accounting standard system [6][7] - An incentive and constraint market mechanism should be constructed, linking carbon footprint grades to market access and providing financial incentives for low-carbon products [7] - International recognition should be promoted to enhance China's influence in carbon footprint management, tracking global trends and engaging in international cooperation [7]
