The Difficulties and Solutions of Terminal Consumption underthe Goal of "Double Carbon" in Realizing Carbon Neutrality Approach—Take Household Consumption as an Example

Abstract

With the change of social economy, industrial structure and cultural background, China has realized that in order to achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality (the "double carbon" goal), end-consumption behavior has gradually become an important factor affecting carbon emission reduction. Based on the analysis of the necessity of carbon emission reduction research in end-consumption behaviors, this paper mainly refers to some data in the report "Carbon Drag -- Analysis of Low-carbon Potential of Large Urban Residents Consumption" published by Urban Carbon Peak International Cooperation Platform. This paper analyzes the current situation of "carbon consumption" in end-consumption behavior and its carbon emission reduction potential from the five aspects of residents' clothing, food, housing, transportation and use, and discusses the problems affecting carbon emission reduction in end-consumption behavior. It is found that residents' low carbon awareness in some fields is weak, and there is resistance to the implementation of green low-carbon behavior. On this basis, this paper provides suggestions on related issues: government enterprises and the public need to work together to improve residents' awareness, increase production quantity at the supply side and improve carbon emission reduction policies.
