Study on the Path to Achieve Carbon Neutrality of China's Shipping under the Background of"Double Carbon"and Compliance

In order to reduce greenhouse gas(GHGs)emission,the international community has made great efforts to explore the system of GHGs energy saving and emission reduction,carbon emissions trading and carbon tax.International Maritime Organization in the initial strategic objectives of GHGs to carry out the revision,to discuss the increase of GHGs emission reduction in shipping,and as a short-term measure into the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,1973,As Modified by the Protocol of 1978 Relating thereto(MARPOL Convention).China is a party to the MARPOL Convention,and once the amendment to Annex VI of the Convention enters into force,China must comply with the requirements of the Convention.In line with the international trend of emission reduction,China has also made a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.The latest measures taken by the international community to reduce GHG emission are introduced through the elaboration of the latest revision of GHGs emission reduction strategies.The current situation of China's shipping fleet and CO2 emissions is analyzed,and on the basis of profound elaboration on the possible impact of the international community's GHGs emission reduction policies and carbon tax policies on China,the proposed pathway for China to achieve carbon neutrality,including the construction of the rule of law for energy conservation and emission reduction,research and development of energy conservation and emission reduction technologies,matching funds for emission reduction,and early implementation of carbon emission trading and carbon tax policies,is proposed with a view to providing support for China to carry out research on GHGs emission reduction in shipping industry.
