“…China, as a major carbon dioxide emitting country, ranks among the top in the world in terms of total carbon dioxide emissions all year round, and according to statistics, China's carbon dioxide emissions in 2019 were 10.29 billion tons, accounting for 28% of the total global carbon emissions and ranking rst in the world (Ying and Sovacool 2021). In September 2020, China formally proposed at the 75th UN General Assembly to achieve the "peak carbon" and "carbon neutral" goals by 2030 and 2060, respectively (Zi et al 2022). In order to promote the "double carbon" target, China has also actively borrowed from the mainstream international carbon reduction policies, and as early as 2011, China approved the pilot project of carbon emission rights in seven provinces and cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Hubei, Guangdong, and Shenzhen.…”
