碳交易与碳税兼容性分析--兼论中国减排路径选择
Study on the Pathway of China to Mitigate Emissions Based on the Compatibility of Carbon Tax and ETS
摘要
Abstract
As important environmental policy instruments, ETS and carbon tax are dedicated to address climate change and promote low carbon economy. However, none of them could achieve the theoretical emission reduction results. With the increasingly serious climate problem and emission mitigation presaue, more and more countries are trying to employ more than one environmental policy instrument to tackle carbon emission issues, including China. But the realistic problems are whether these two ‘quite different ’ emission reduction systems could work well and how they can work well. On the basis of theory analysis, this paper discussed the compatibility between absolute emission reduction target and carbon tax, and the result shows that there are systematic problems. As to relative emission reduction target, the result shows that it could be compatible with carbon tax. For the issues related to absolute target, this thesis argued that ceiling price and floor price, banking system, borrowing system, reducing the overlap of adjustment coverage, projects offsetting and other systems should be introduced, which could improve the defects of both in reality and constitute a hybrid system with enhancing both advantages and avoiding their disadvantages. With background of establishing national ETS market and preparation of carbon tax, taking the compatibility analysis above as a basis, proceeding from China ’ s reduction commitment and domestic pilot ETSs, we argued that China, as a developing country, should consider the social economy development as the prerequisite of emission mitigation. Responding to initial period of mitigation and arduous reduction task, as well as low-volume transaction having little impact on allowance price fluctuation, this paper put forward that incorporating carbon tax to address environmental complexity and diversity. Furthermore, these instrument combinations could increase taxes revenues, balance mitigation pressure, etc. Therefore, the pathway of China mitigation should, in the light of the actual circumstances, address emission reduction in steps and phases with flexible and varied modalities. Specifically, this article provided two-steps strategy for China, cap-and-trade ( relative target) and carbon tax employed in the middle and short term out of economic and social necessity, but cap-and-trade ( absolute target) and carbon tax adopted in the long term.关键词
