Study on the Construction of Ocean Carbon Sink Standards System
Ocean carbon sink has the characteristics of large carbon storage and long storage time.The development of ocean carbon sink is an important measure to achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality and to cope with climate change.Although China has issued standards such as the sectoral standard HY/T 0349-2022,Accounting methods for ocean carbon sink,there are still blocking points in the key links of ocean carbon sink such as development,certification,transaction and offset.It is an effective means to solve these problems by carrying out the standardization work of ocean carbon sink,establishing the standards system of ocean carbon sink and giving full play to the leading role of standards.Based on the relevant policy requirements,practical experience and standardization achievements of ocean carbon sink,combined with the needs of ocean carbon sink standardization work,the ocean carbon sink standards system has been established,including eight secondary standard subsystems,including basic general standards,carbon sink investigation and evaluation,sink enhancement technology and management,carbon sink monitoring and measurement,accounting and certification,carbon sink trading,mitigation and adaptation measures,and management support.Some suggestions are put forward such as improving the laws and policies of ocean carbon sink,carrying out research on ocean carbon sink standardization,establishing and improving the standards system,carrying out pilot demonstration of ocean carbon sink standardization related applications,and strengthening international standardization communication and cooperation of ocean carbon sink.The objective is to promote the application of ocean carbon sink accounting technology and standards,open up the key links of ocean carbon sink from development,certification,transaction to offset,and promote the development of ocean carbon sink and the realization of the value of ecological products.
