The Significance of Emission Trading System from the Perspective of Environmental Regulation— Based on the Analysis of China’s Environmental Pollution Control Data

Abstract

Since the reform and opening up 40 years ago, China’s economy has been growing rapidly, but the continuous GDP growth occurs at the expense of natural environment. Based on the analysis of China’s environmental pollution situation and investment in pollution control since the 21st century, it can be found that there are some problems, such as serious air pollution and water pollution, deepening environmental damage, increasing economic losses caused by environmental pollution and insufficient investment in industrial pollution control. Emissions trading system, as an efficient system of pollution control, compared with the traditional pollution charge system, can effectively solve the problem of China’s air pollution and water pollution. Air pollution and water pollution to realize control of total pollution so that it is likely to achieve industrial upgrading,optimize allocation of environmental resources and reduce the cost of pollution control. It is more conducive to achieving the coordination between environmental protection and economic development.
