Carbon Inclusion for Green Travel and Practices in Beijing
Accelerating the promotion of public green travel and guiding the whole society towards a green and low-carbon lifestyle are vital strategies for the low-carbon transformation of urban transportation and supporting China's achievement of its"dual-carbon"goals.The existing carbon emissions management system predominantly focuses on key industries and enterprises at the production end,yet with a signifi-cant gap in carbon reduction management at the consumption end,particularly regarding residents'travel.Therefore,there is urgent demand for innovate mechanisms and development models.This paper expli-cates the concept of carbon inclusion and its development in the transportation sector,and analyzes the challenges of carbon reduction in transportation from the perspectives of governance,measurement,and guidance.Based on the integrated incentive model from behavioral incentive theory,the paper explores the theoretical logic and system framework of carbon inclusion for green travel,and examines the practices in Beijing.Finally,the paper proposes recommendations for developing carbon inclusion for green travel in major Chinese cities from four key aspects:designing an operational mechanism that complies with the car-bon market trading rules,establishing a technology system based on big data,continuously expanding the application scenarios and user scale of carbon inclusion,and innovating sustainable business models.
