Study On The Legistation Of China’s Carbon Tax Under The Background Of Climate Change

Since the industrial revolution, the development of the global economy hasentered a new period, driven by economic interests gradually blurred the human eye.The development of human start and unreasonable utilization of natural resources,deforestation, uncontrolled use of non-renewable resources, wanton various exhaustemissions of waste, the common home of mankind--the earth is facing the hithertounknown damage. Especially the greenhouse gas emissions increased year by year,leading to global climate warming, climate change has caused the attention of people.Since nineteenth Century, the global average surface temperature rose0.3-0.6degrees Celsius, global sea level also increased10-25centimeters, develop in thisspeed, sooner or later we will lose the common home of life. The problem of climatechange has evolved into a question of survival. The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide asthe primary cause of global warming, countries have taken measures to realize thecarbon dioxide emissions, low carbon economy gradually into the line of sight ofpeople, especially since the2009Copenhagen Conference on emission reductiontargets, low carbon economy has come of age.The development of low-carbon economy measures, outstanding feature of "carbon tax" include economic, policy, legal and other aspects of the developedcountries and the developing countries began to be popular, and some countries haveadopted the relevant carbon tax act, and has made the corresponding effect.China’s GDP accounted for10%of the world, but the carbon emissions haveaccounted for45%of the world, at present our country is not mandatory carbonemission reduction measures, the " carbon tax " legislation is still blank. In recent years,some developed countries began under the banner of " carbon tariff " cover theimplementation of economic barriers to trade policy seriously violated withoutimposing "carbon tax" the interests of the developing countries, so in a carbon tax inChina, and the legislative construction on the one hand, is a strategic choice to dealwith trade barriers of developed countries policy, another it helps the realization ofChina’s carbon dioxide emissions real, actively respond to climate change. This article starts from the background of the global climate change, based on theserious situation, combined with the status quo of the development of low carboneconomy, leads to the " carbon tax " of the response measures, mainly expounds themeaning of the nature of a carbon tax, and the relationship between emission reductionmeasures, combined with foreign legislation and carbon tax system construction, basedon the condition of our country, put forward the necessity and feasibility of carbon taxlegislation in our country, and finally from the perspective of the legislative purpose,legislative ideas, legislative principles, legislative time, specific system design isdescribed in the specific design scheme of legislation on the carbon tax.
