Research on an equilibrium development model between urban and rural areas of Henan including carbon sink assets under the dual carbon goal

Abstract

With the improvement of China’s industrialization and urbanization level, the problem of urban–rural dual structure is becoming increasingly obvious. The balanced development of urban and rural areas is a problem that China is striving to solve. Against the background of dual carbon goal, urban enterprises are reducing carbon emissions, while the rural carbon sink potential is huge, and carbon optimization is becoming the basis for balanced urban–rural development co-occurrence. This paper discusses the construction of an urban–rural mutual aid model from the perspective of carbon sink value. Using the case study method and the system theory research method, this paper analyzes the development status of rural agriculture and farmers, reveals the potential economic value of rural carbon sink assets, constructs an urban–rural mutual aid mechanism for industry feedback into agriculture, and proposes an implementation path for urban–rural mutual aid and the coordinated development of carbon sink assets under the dual carbon goal. The results show that the urban–rural mutual assistance model of carbon sink assets is conducive to the balanced development of urban and rural areas in Henan Province and the common prosperity of the people.

Decomposition, decoupling and dynamic prediction of carbon emissions from city-level building operations: a case study of the Yangtze River Delta

“…(3) Improving the policy system for building conserving energy and reducing emissions. The carbon emission market trading system can be beneficial for reducing carbon emissions and urban-rural disparities (Tang and Li, 2022;Tang et al, 2023). However, due to the challenges of emission accounting and the decentralized of building ownership, only PBs are currently included in the market.…”

Research on the impact of digitalization on green development: An empirical analysis from the low-carbon strategy perspective

“…First, digital technology can effectively realize precise measurement and long-term predictions of carbon emissions, guiding cities and enterprises to prioritize green development strategies with low-carbon goals. At the same time, big data can be used to obtain and accurately identify ecological environment information in real time, enabling cities and enterprises to assess the capacity and situation of the environment [26], and big data can also help them fully tap into the value of carbon sink assets and other assets [27]. The precise planning of carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality combined with digital twin technology can also eliminate the adverse selection and moral hazard caused by asymmetric information and force subjects to make a strategic plan for green development in advance.…”
