| In October 2020,the proposal of the CPC Central Committee on formulating the fourteenth five year plan for national economic and social development and the long-term goals for the year 2035 clearly proposed to reduce the intensity of carbon emissions,support the localities with conditions to take the lead in reaching the peak of carbon emissions,and formulate an action plan for reaching the peak of carbon emissions before 2030.Driven by the current climate change,carbon peaking and carbon emission reduction targets,forest carbon sink is recognized by the international community as an effective and low-cost measure to control carbon concentration.At the same time,strengthening afforestation and increasing carbon sink are also important countermeasures and highlights to reduce carbon emissions in China.Forest carbon sequestration originally belongs to the natural attribute of forest,but for the need of environmental protection,the economic value of forest carbon sink can be realized by setting the relationship of rights and obligations,so that forest carbon sink has social attributes.With the exploration and application of big data,artificial intelligence,Internet of things,Internet and mobile terminals APP,the public has formed green lifestyle through mobile technology,public have started to achieve a carbon travel,reduce the use of plastic bags,have online meetings,go online shopping,use of electronic money and other low-carbon lifestyles to reduce personal carbon emissions.The "ant forest" public service will carry out offline afforestation activities by online producing forests Forest carbon sink,which absorbs the concentration of greenhouse gases and produces special forests Forest carbon sink.Through the Internet,the public can make individual carbon emission reduction measurable and cumulative,then put the individual cumulative carbon emission reduction into the carbon market for trading,in order to materialize the virtual forest carbon sink and make it into specific data that can be quantified.Considering its difference from traditional forest carbon sink,it can be called "virtual" forest carbon sink.Although China's forest carbon sequestration trading market has accumulated certain experience after continuous development in recent years,there are still many problems in forest carbon sequestration market: the trading standards of the legal system of carbon sequestration are not unified,the trading mechanism,regulatory system and incentive measures are not perfect,and the impact of mobile technology on forest carbon sequestration is ignored.As a result,the enthusiasm of market participants is low,the forest carbon sequestration trade in China is lack of vitality and the establishment of national unified carbon emission trading market is hindered.In order to solve the problems existing in the current forest carbon sequestration market,first of all,we should confirm the property right attribute of "virtual" forest carbon sink in law,and encourage it to enter the carbon emission trading market.Secondly,determine the elements of the legal system of "virtual" forest carbon sequestration trading,determine the natural person as the trading subject of the "virtual" forest carbon sink trading system,optimize the structure of the trading subject;bring the "virtual" forest carbon sink into the trading object of the carbon sink market,activate the idle carbon sink resources;promulgate the "Virtual" Forest Carbon Sink Trading Rules to regulate the "virtual" forest carbon sink trading mechanism.Finally,in order to eliminate the separation of local carbon market,accelerate the establishment of national unified carbon emission market and stimulate the trading vitality of carbon market,how to build a "virtual" forest carbon sink trading legal system is an unavoidable problem in China's environmental legislation.The supervision and management of "virtual" forest carbon sequestration market should be strengthened by clarifying the management responsibility of the third party platform,increasing market incentive supervision measures and establishing a strict inspection and punishment mechanism.Through providing more policy support for enterprises actively performing the contract,creating personal carbon credit,commending and publicizing low-carbon enterprises,the long-term mechanism of energy conservation and emission reduction is established,so that the incentive and guarantee system of "virtual" forest carbon sink trade is established."Virtual" forest carbon sequestration will inevitably encounter problems in the application of international law in the process of the world carbon sequestration trading system.We should try our best to solve the disputes by arbitration.When using the court litigation mode,we should agree in the applicable law to solve the conflict.Defining the legal attribute of "virtual" forest carbon sink and constructing the legal system of "virtual" forest carbon sequestration transaction can not only protect citizens' individual carbon assets,but also enhance citizens' awareness of environmental protection,promote environmental improvement and ensure the sustainable and green development of economy and society,so as to form the lasting power of ecological civilization construction in China. |
