Comparative Analysis of Carbon Emission Reduction Policies in Europe and the United States and Implications for China
As the global climate crisis intensifies,carbon emission reduction policies have become a key focus for countries worldwide.This article reviews and compares the practices and differences between the European Union(EU)and the United States in their carbon emission reduction policies from the perspective of policy tools,including regulatory tools,economic and financial tools,market-based tools,and informational tools.The study finds that the EU ensures long-term policy stability and promotes joint implementation among member states through strict legislative frameworks and carbon emission trading systems,supporting early carbon market trading and the green transition.Additionally,the EU extends its influence by promoting energy regulations externally and fostering international cooperation.In contrast,the United States relies more on fiscal incentives and local innova-tion,flexibly promoting low-carbon technologies and industrial decarbonization based on market mechanisms.Con-sidering the differences in resource endowments and industrial structures,China can draw on the experience of Eu-rope and the United States to further improve its carbon market development,and enhance support for innovative technologies and policy coordination.This would help optimize industrial efficiency,refine the management of car-bon emissions,and assist in achieving the"dual carbon"goals.
