In order to combat climate change, China has put forward a solemn target commitment such as "strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060". "Achieving peak carbon and achieving carbon neutrality" is one of the key tasks of the country in 2021. What exactly is "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality", and why does it take 40 years? Stamp map, learn knowledge together!

From the perspective of environmental protection, Zhang Xingying, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and director of the Institute of Satellite Meteorology at the National Satellite Meteorological Center, suggested that to be "carbon neutral" we need to figure out how much carbon dioxide we emit.

"What governments need to know about governance is where exactly does carbon dioxide come from? How much of it is absorbed by our vegetation oceans? Where did it get absorbed? We have a huge computer network called the carbon dioxide assimilation system. With the observation of earth and earth combined with this model, we can calculate how much carbon dioxide is emitted by different places, regions and industries, and then how much carbon dioxide is saved by our afforestation, energy conservation and emission reduction measures." Zhang Xingying said that to be "carbon neutral" does not mean that each province or city should report how many kilowatt-hours of electricity it used this year and then roughly convert how much carbon dioxide it converted.

"Carbon dioxide is converted into useful products through chemical catalytic processes. It is not only suitable for new chemical materials, but also for new energy lithium batteries and so on. It is a green, low-carbon and new energy industry, so we also call for the country to pay attention to the industrialization of carbon dioxide and the utilization of resources." Zhu Jianmin said.

From the perspective of social practice, Peng Shou, a deputy to the National People's Congress and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that China's path to carbon neutrality cannot be achieved without the participation of all people. "I think we need to build up the consciousness of green in the whole people and the whole city, and we can build a green new energy demonstration city." "The whole city should have this green concept, green living, green manufacturing, green production, including green applications," Peng said.
