Inspiration from the international metropolis'zero emission action plan to the carbon neutrality of Beijing
Climate change is a significant global challenge that humanity faces today.As the world's largest emitter,China's"3060"target reflects its responsible attitude as a major country and demonstrates strict re-quirements for local development.Compared to globally recognized world cities such as New York,London,Tokyo and Paris,Beijing has a certain space for development in addressing climate change,economic growth,urban construction,and other aspects.To scientifically explore the carbon neutrality target and the roadmap of Beijing,this article systematically sorted out the proposed carbon neutrality goals,realization paths and specif-ic measures of the 4 international metropolises and compared the differences in energy consumption and car-bon emission between Beijing and these 4 international metropolises.After considering Beijing's current eco-nomic development stage,carbon emission characteristics and future urban positioning,and combined with the LEAP model results,the roadmap and timetable of Beijing's carbon neutrality are proposed.Beijing should be achieve carbon neutrality by 2055 or 2050 to support the country's dual carbon goals.According to the prin-ciple of combining short-term and long-term goals with step by step,carbon emission will be reduced steadily after reaching the peak by 2025 and by 2035 it will be reduced by 35%compared with the base year.In the neutralizing year of 2055/2050,carbon emission would be reduced by 85%.According to carbon dioxide emis-sion source characteristics,the main measures to achieve carbon neutrality for Beijing should focus on energy transformation,low-carbon buildings,green transportation,extensive public participation,and technological in-novation.
