Discovering and Verifying the Optimization Principles for Carbon Neutrality in Human Society
This paper aims to propose scientific methods for achieving the dual carbon goals and delve deeply into the theoretical foundations supporting these methods. However, carbon neutrality cannot be achieved solely through individual low-carbon behaviors, carbon taxes, or carbon trading. It requires comprehensive and systematic planning, as well as increasing the consumption and efficiency of clean energy. The proposed methods focus on identifying carbon emissions and carbon sequestration behaviors, assessing their impacts, analyzing the balance between energy supply and demand, and formulating effective carbon neutrality strategies. In the process of achieving carbon neutrality, while technological revolution is crucial, it remains a distant vision, whereas transforming social lifestyles is more feasible and requires collective efforts to address the challenges of climate change. The result is the discovery and verification of optimization principles for carbon neutrality in human society, emphasizing the need to comprehensively consider and balance two major carbon emission behaviors and two major carbon sequestration behaviors, while ensuring a balanced energy supply and demand structure. This research provides theoretical support and practical guidance for global climate governance, promoting green development, and building a community with a shared future for mankind. Its significance lies in the fact that, against the backdrop of intensifying global climate change, this research strongly supports China's active response to international calls, dedication to achieving the "3060" dual carbon goals, and continuous advancement of green development and international cooperation to address the challenges posed by climate change.
