Abstract
Carbon labeling scheme as a quantitative measure on carbon emissions of product or service, can be applied to leading low carbon consumption and production, which is also a powerful tool to achieve carbon neutral. The policy brief reviews the progress of carbon labelling scheme to provide insight into its future perspectives on carbon neutrality in China. The results show that: ① China has not officially fostered as a carbon labeling system, but there is a pilot attempt to electric appliance; ② Publics’ perception towards carbon labeling scheme is in a lower level; ③ There is a room for improvement on the existing carbon labeling scheme, to improve its transparency and comparison.
Highlights
Greenhouse gas emissions pose a potential threat to the environment to cause global warming (Yin and Shi, 2019)
This study aims to analyze the development of carbon labeling scheme and identify its challenges based on a mini review, by which the associated challenges are identified to provide policy implications and recommendations on green development toward carbon neutrality in China
The study underlines the novelty that a carbon labeling scheme may be a valuable policy tool to lead low carbon transition on both supply side and demand side, to assist carbon neutrality in China
Summary
Faculty of Geosciences and Environment Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China. Carbon labeling scheme as a quantitative measure on carbon emissions of product or service, can be applied to leading low carbon consumption and production, which is a powerful tool to achieve carbon neutral. The policy brief reviews the progress of carbon labelling scheme to provide insight into its future perspectives on carbon neutrality in China. The results show that: 1 China has not officially fostered as a carbon labeling system, but there is a pilot attempt to electric appliance; 2 Publics’ perception towards carbon labeling scheme is in a lower level; 3 There is a room for improvement on the existing carbon labeling scheme, to improve its transparency and comparison.
