在巴库举行的COP29会议上,Carbon Brief采访了清华大学环境规划与管理系主任王灿教授,讨论了其领导的研究团队发布的《2024全球碳中和年度进展报告》。 上微信关注《碳简报》 该报告由清华大学大学碳中和研究院和环境学院联合发布,评估了不同国家在减缓气候变化的“目标、技术、资金和国际合作”方面的进展,指出了“碳中和目标与减排成果之间的实施差距”。 在这次内容广泛的采访中,王灿教授介绍了该研究所的研究结果并指出了世界实现净零排放的主要障碍。他还分享了对欧盟碳边境调整机制(CBAM)、中国即将提交的2035气候承诺(NDC)、碳市场、“碳双控” 政策、“十四五” 规划、碳达峰时间表、电气化、储能和氢能等的思考。 以下是采访的全文记录,记录已编辑以保证篇幅和清晰度: 关于碳中和执行进展:“我们从执行的角度来跟踪(各国碳中和的进展),更注重实际行动和用科学的方法去评估。” 关于发展中国家对气候行动的承诺:“发展中国家应对气候变化的决心和紧迫感非常强烈。因为他们更容易受到气候变化的影响,因此他们更加积极。” 关于中国2035年国家自主贡献:“我觉得下一轮NDC还是会跟我们的 “双碳” 政策保持一致的,主要更新是把我们的目标跟公约的时间表对标,比如把目标延长到2035年。” 关于全球可再生能源:“(全球可再生能源)已经增长得非常快了,但如果我们要实现2030年(可再生能源发电量实现三倍增长的目标),它必须增长得更快。” 关于可再生能源三倍增长的障碍:“我们认为(可再生能源)技术已经发展到可以更快部署的阶段……这本是可以实现的,但未能实现的一个重要因素是最近的贸易壁垒问题……我们发现包括美国在内的国家都有这样的政策。”…
