The Establishment Of The Legal System Of Carbon Labels Idea In Our Country

So far human society has made unprecedentedly brilliant achievements in economy,especially after the European Industrial Revolution, the speed of economic developmentincreases a lot. This makes the level of human material life raise greatly, as well as makes thehuman believe that he is the master of nature. These misunderstandings provide plenty reasonsfor developing high carbon economy. Thus reviewing what we have done before, we find that theprogress of human is set up at the expense of consuming huge fossil energy, So have a highdegree dependence of fossil energy. As we all know, the side effects of excess use of fossilenergy triggers serious environmental problems. It is mainly because excess dischargegreenhouse gas, and the raise global warming, which brings huge economic loss. Increasinglyfierce environmental problems forced people to consider before model of economic development,the relationship between human and environment reflection. In this process, people have come torealize all kinds of acid rain, desertification and remove the harm of environmental problems, thesharp rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide as a result of the greenhouse effect hasacceptance. And with the population and the growing of the economic scale people havegradually realized the result of energy brought about by the use of global environmentalproblems and causes, to remove smoke, smog, acid rain and soil salinization and other hazards,due to atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration brought about global warming also has beenrecognized as the undisputed in fact, as a warning for the future people realized that reducinggreenhouse gas emissions, the necessity of developing low carbon economy. Post Copenhagenera, human beings have to put the low carbon economy from the loud slogans into nationalpolicies, through economic, legal means to put into action. In 2009 the outbreak of the globalfinancial crisis for a low carbon economy development provides a better opportunity. For thesustainable development of human in the world more and more countries chose a low carboneconomy.But from high carbon economy transition into a low carbon economy is related to a political,economic, legal, ethical and integrated, which is a gradual process, for China, especially theadjustment of economic structure and industrial structure transition, for the selection of thenational economic strategy is more important.What is more, Human beings have realized that environmental problems have become quantitative factors of economic and social development,so reducing greenhouse gas emission, developing a low carbon economy has gradually become aconsensus. The international community has made efforts on promoting the implementation of alow carbon economy. In 1992,"agenda 21" was passed in the UN conference aboutenvironment and development held at the Rio DE Janeiro, which marked the world moved into anew environmental area of protecting the environment, advocating natural, promoting thesustainable development. But how to make the rational consumers know the information onhow to quantify greenhouse gas emissions, and those have quantified carbon content of products,as well as how to deal with carbon labels may occur in international trade with and thus a carbontariffs as an excuse for trade barriers. Technical standards are two role. On one hand it canprovide for the goods and services trade with compatibility, can obtain convenient for consumersenvironmental information to make the contribution. On the other hand, the technical standardsmay also become a trade protection measures to increase the developing country producers haveto bear export charges, instead of traditional tariff barriers and hinder trade liberalization and thedevelopment of economic globalization.And carbon labels have undoubtedly become the new technology of the barriers to allelements, in international trade, also more and more become rich countries limit the new ways ofdeveloping countries. But the restrictions method and different is that it is completely meet theglobal a low carbon economy development trend, this make developing countries have to accept.So, instead of in this new type of competition enslaved field, as we advanced, active carbonlabels implementation of legal system.The carbon labels have already existed in the internationalcommunity, at present there are more than 10 countries have the low carbon product certification,for example, Germany, Britain, Japan, South Korea. It requires products which have gone publicmust be labeled "carbon label", namely marked carbon dioxide emissions in the process ofproducing, packaging and selling. however from domestic prospective, carbon labels still becalculated as a new type of environment mark, with its theoretical basis, scope ofimplementation, testing institutions and identification method in the initial stage.The carbonlabel implementation in International Trade have a goan on establishing goal depends on the twobasic factors: one is the consumers and producers of the rational, they must protect the opinion ofenvironment and climate tendency, and have the willingness to pay for carbon label implementation leads to the increase of international trade; The two is the method of approvedproduct carbon footprint is simple, and to identify the unity, pilot promotion. As a new type ofenvironmental labels, carbon labels from the formation theory of the prototype to the now for afew developed countries to accept experienced a long and tortuous process. Carbon labels lawsystem of establishing and implementing the perspective from the consumer can solve productenvironmental information asymmetry problem, security right of citizens to know theenvironment information. And more important is in the background of international trade, and topromote the enterprise to increase low carbon technology investment, reduce carbon emissions,in the new round of international competition and achieved discourse.This article starts from the concept of carbon labels, analyses the theoretical source of thecarbon labels, the nature, background and production. Then it expounds the present situation andcharacteristics in implementing carbon labels in typical developed countries and regions. Thispaper analyzes the carbon label system in several typical developed countries and regions ,summarizes the experience and proposes of the foreign countries in implementation of carbonmarking system the feasible establishment of carbon label of China, finds out the implementationmethods. So as to make some suggestions on the establishment of carbon system and theimprovement of the legislation of environment resources.
