Understanding of carbon emissions and peak carbon dioxide emissions
The understanding of carbon emission and carbon dioxide emission peak is as follows:

Broadly speaking, the peak of carbon dioxide emissions means that at a certain point in time, carbon dioxide emissions no longer increase to the peak, and then gradually fall back. According to the introduction of the World Resources Institute, the peak of carbon dioxide emissions is a process, that is, carbon emissions first enter a plateau period and can fluctuate within a certain range, and then enter a steady decline stage. The peak of carbon dioxide emission is the premise of carbon neutrality, and the early realization of the peak of carbon dioxide emission can promote the early realization of carbon neutrality.

Introduction to carbon emissions:

Refers to the greenhouse gas emissions produced during the production, transportation, use and recycling of products. Dynamic carbon emissions refer to the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions per unit of goods, and there will be different dynamic carbon emissions between batches of the same product.

For example, a box on the supermarket shelf comes from a specific bottling factory, and another box next to it comes from a factory hundreds of kilometers away. The two boxes are transported by different logistics companies, so the carbon emissions of the two boxes are very different.

In 20 18, China's total carbon emission was about10,313,460 kilotons, which was the highest in the world, while the global total carbon emission was about 3,40410,046 kilotons. China's per capita carbon emissions are about 7.4 tons, while the world's per capita carbon emissions are about 4.5 tons.

China plans to achieve the peak of carbon dioxide emission in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060. The United States proposes to achieve "net zero emission" by 2050. The European Union submitted the European Climate Law, aiming at ensuring that Europe will become the first "climate neutral" continent by 2050.

Introduction to low carbon:

Refers to low greenhouse gas (mainly carbon dioxide) emissions. Saving water, electricity, fuel and solar terms is a low-carbon lifestyle advocated by the state. In recent years, global warming has become one of the biggest crises on the earth, and the emission of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) is usually regarded as the main cause of global warming, so "low-carbon life" is quietly emerging:
