简报文件 4——气候金融、碳定价和数据披露
Summary
The document provides a comparative analysis of climate policy tools in the US and China. It details the US's reliance on subnational carbon pricing and evolving SEC disclosure rules, and China's implementation of the world's largest emissions trading system (ETS) and its 'common but differentiated responsibilities' approach to international finance. It concludes by suggesting cooperation on sustainable procurement, emission accounting standards, and subnational carbon market exchanges.
Key insights
- China has established the world's largest mandatory emissions trading system (ETS), which since 2021 has covered power sector entities emitting over 26,000 tons of CO2 equivalent, accounting for over 30% of China's total greenhouse gas emissions.
- China utilizes a 'common but differentiated responsibilities' principle to argue it has no obligation to provide international climate finance as a developing nation, though it provides support via the Belt and Road Initiative and the South-South Climate Change Cooperation Fund.
- Climate disclosure rules in both countries are evolving but face gaps; the US SEC rule excludes mandatory Scope 3 reporting and faces legal challenges, while China's stock exchanges suggest but do not require Scope 3 reporting and third-party verification.
