中国特色的碳市场国际化路径选择OA北大核心CSSCICSTPCD

With the emergence of climate-themed trade measures,it is increasingly crucial to promote the globalization of China's na-tional carbon emissions trading system(C-ETS)with Chinese characteristics in a proactive,systematic,and orderly manner.Existing studies have largely focused on'point-to-point'responses to international pressure and/or on the construction of a domestic carbon ETS primarily for institutional self-sufficiency.Altogether,the current literature may fail to sufficiently inform authorities,particularly on how to effectively address the urgent need to safeguard economic and trade interests and,further,on how to systematically accommodate the strategic need to enhance low-carbon competitiveness for the future and to assume a more active role under future global gover-nance.Therefore,this study analyzes the three major challenges faced by the C-ETS systematically and,from the interdisciplinary per-spectives of law and economics,identifies the theoretical nature and guiding principles of globalizing the C-ETS.Furthermore,based on an analysis of institutional background(i.e.,international law and associated carbon-themed guidelines)and practical basis(i.e.,associ-ated domestic and international practices and the status quo of carbon-themed global competitions),this study evaluates the technical feasibility,legal compatibility,economic co-benefits,and political desirability of various paths,identifies key areas and low-carbon stan-dards,and further proposes three-stage paths.Ultimately,this study finds that:① From the perspective of climate trade policy linkages,the key to globalizing the C-ETS is to leverage China's economic and trade influences to systematically promote low-carbon standards thereof.② Differing from international practices,e.g.,those of the EU,China's globalization emphasizes the dynamic interaction be-tween climate justice and mitigation efficiency to better balance domestic and global interests as well as climate pledges and domestic industrial competitiveness.③ Significant differences exist in the goals,implementing entities,and paths of globalization across differ-ent fields of mandatory and voluntary ETSs,intersections of trade and climate change mitigation,and mechanisms for sharing carbon costs.Altogether,this study provides theoretical rationale and policy suggestions for public actors at the national,regional,and city lev-els,particularly as to taking a more prominent role in future global climate governance.It further lays a theoretical foundation for pri-vate actors,such as Chinese enterprises,industry associations,and financial institutions,to engage in soft-law-governed global carbon governance.
