| It has been prevailing recognition and attention in academia that oceans absorb carbon dioxide from air and store it in the ocean to slow down the greenhouse effect. At present, the forestry carbon sequestration projects and forestry carbon sink trade have been carried out in the world, which could improve the ecological environment and bring considerable economic benefits for investors of carbon sequestration projects. Although people have realized the important role of blue carbon sinks, the situation of blue carbon sinks trade is still in the blank and legal system of the blue carbon sinks trade in our country has not yet been established due to the limitation of academic research and technology. Under the background of global climate warming gradually and kinds of extreme weather happening frequently, it is of great significance that studying the ecological value of blue carbon sinks and achieving the paid and marketization of marine ecological service function by introducing the market mechanism. As a starting point on that, this article studies and discusses specially the establishing of the legal system and the external guarantee mechanism of blue carbon sinks trade market in our country on the basis of analyzing and discussing objective demand and feasibility of building legal system of the blue carbon sinks trade.The article includes five parts altogether. This paper discusses the basic principles of legal system of the blue carbon sinks trade in our country. And then on the basis of the analysis of the concept of "the carbon sinks"ã€"the blue carbon sinks" "the blue carbon sinks trade" and "legal system of the blue carbon sinks trade", it discusses the economics features of the service function of the marine carbon sinks: scarcity, public goods and externality. At the same time, it also puts forward the theoretical basis of the legal system of the blue carbon sinks trade in China:the marine ecological service theory and the benefit balance theory, analysing the features and the frame of legal system of the blue carbon sinks trade. The second part demonstrates the objective demand of building of the legal system of the blue carbon sinks trade in our country:under the pressure of global warming, China needs to continue to promote energy conservation and emissions reduction, and standardizes and enriches the carbon trading market under the premise of implementing the win-win of protecting of marine ecological environment and promoting the rapid and healthy development of marine economy by the way of blue carbon sinks trade. On the basis of the analysis of the objective demand and basic principle of establishing of the legal system of blue carbon sinks trade in our country, the third part has analyzed the feasibility of carrying out the blue carbon sinks trade in our country:arising of the global carbon market blue project, the reference provided by developing forestry carbon sink trade and rich marine carbon sink resources and market development potential in our country. The fourth part is the most important part, which focuses on building of the blue carbon sinks trade market in our country. It analyzes the basic elements of framework of the blue carbon sinks trade market in our country from five aspects of trading patterns, the trading main body and object body, the price and contract rules. It is clear that trading pattern selection, mature market trading main body, standardized products, transparent clear market price and the simple rules of contract are the focus of blue carbon sinks trade in our country. Finally, after the analysis of the above problem, it puts forward relevant external guarantee mechanism for the construction of legal system of blue carbon sinks trade in our country:it puts forward the corresponding countermeasures on construction and supervision of blue carbon trading market in China from setting up dedicated fund for blue carbon sinks and trade protection, risk prevention and insurance system, market and environmental regulation for blue carbon sinks trade and assuming of legal responsibility.The blue carbon market is a new thing happened in recent years. Whether the academia or the practice of the carbon sinks trading in every country has not responded to the blue carbon sinks trading. Through the study of marine carbon sink ecological service function and the blue carbon sinks trade, marine biological carbon resources and marine carbon sink ecological service function bring us not only economic benefits, and the more important is how to implement the coordination of the marine ecological environment benefit and economy benefit by introducing market mechanism, meet the needs of pushing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in China, and alleviate the increasingly serious crisis of global warming, which is the innovation of the article. |
