On November 1, 2021, Beijing Yier Zero Environment Co., Ltd., the organizer of the 2021 Xin'anjiang Green Development Forum and Ecological Products Expo, and Shexian Shexi Forest Farm officially signed a forestry carbon sink project trading agreement at the Jiangnan Forest Exchange, thus completing the first online transaction of the forestry carbon sink project in Anhui Province, marking that the province's first "zero carbon" conference will land in Huangshan. Zhu Ce, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, and Chen Liqing, secretary general of the municipal government, attended and witnessed the signing of the contract.
The "zero carbon" conference refers to the carbon emission reduction quota that meets international standards for the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly generated by the conference, and the carbon neutrality is achieved by offsetting the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the conference by purchasing carbon credits, afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction.
Striving to build Huangshan into an ecological and international world-class leisure and holiday tourism destination city, and promoting carbon peaking and carbon neutrality action in the forefront is the meaning of the problem, but also the strategic choice. The Huangshan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and propose to make the 2021 Xin'anjiang Green Development Forum and Ecology Expo into a "zero carbon" conference.
It is understood that the conference will be held from November 4 to 5, and its "zero carbon" realization is mainly divided into three stages: in the early stage of preparation for the conference, the preparatory group invited professional institutions to investigate the site of the conference and the invitation of personnel, providing a series of professional low-carbon improvement suggestions for the conference; the preparatory group also entrusted a well-known domestic ecological expert, Professor Cai Yongli of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and his team to benchmark international national standards in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's "Carbon Neutrality Implementation Guidelines for Large-scale Activities (Trial)". Systematic detailed estimation of carbon emissions measurements for the Conference. According to estimates, the conference is expected to produce carbon emissions of 555.2 tons, of which the venue carbon emissions of 92.7 tons, transportation carbon emissions of 133.1 tons, accommodation carbon emissions of 160.4 tons, total catering emissions of 170 tons; the organizer of the conference, Beijing Yier Zero Environment Co., Ltd. and Shexian Shexi Forest Farm signed a forestry carbon sink project trading agreement at the Jiangnan Forest Exchange, purchasing forestry carbon sinks at a price of 50 yuan / ton, which will be used to offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the conference to achieve carbon neutrality and truly achieve "zero carbon" The objectives of the meeting.
The conference is about to be held, and the reporter also learned that many details of the conference reflect the requirements of low carbon, such as the use of new energy vehicles for the conference vehicle protection; the conference site to achieve paperless, intelligent, digital; the hotel room does not arrange disposable toiletries; the conference in the holding, reception and catering as far as possible to consider energy saving and emission reduction.
It is reported that the carbon sink project is open online trading on the platform of Jiangnan Forestry Property Rights Exchange. The provincial government recently issued the "Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the New Round of Forest Chief System", which mentioned that "the jiangnan forestry property rights exchange in the carbon sink trading, standardize the trading behavior", and in the "development of multi-level capital market services "three places and one district" construction action plan" clearly support the Jiangnan forest exchange around the forest rights, pollution rights innovation trading products, to build the Yangtze River Delta regional green ecological product trading center.
The success of this transaction not only marks the landing of the province's first "zero carbon" conference in Huangshan, but also the first forestry carbon sink project in our province to be publicly traded online through the exchange, which is a vivid practice of Huangshan City's practice of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, and a useful exploration to promote the realization of the value of ecological products and promote carbon neutrality at a higher level.
