Pathways For Realizing The Value Of Carbon Sink Ecological Products

In the context of carbon neutrality,the importance of carbon sink has become increasingly important.Realizing the value of carbon sink ecological products is not only of great significance for solving the contradiction between high-quality economic development and environmental protection,but also an effective way to achieve sustainable rural development and promote common prosperity.Broaden the value transformation channel of carbon sink ecological products,realize the sustainable transformation from "lucid waters and lush mountains" to "golden mountains and silver mountains",and provide new ideas for the coordinated realization of carbon neutrality goals and common prosperity.Firstly,based on the connotation of carbon sink and combined with the Public Goods Theory,this paper defines three types of carbon sink ecological products.The first category refers to agricultural products and forest products with private product attributes.The second category refers to carbon fixation with quasi-public product attributes,which the existing literature mostly refers to these carbon sink ecological products when studying the realization of carbon sink value.The third category is clean air with pure public product attributes.Secondly,with the help of the Michael Porter’s Value Chain Model,this paper establishes the basic model for the value realization of carbon sink ecological products.The value realization activities in the model are divided into basic activities and auxiliary activities.Thirdly,using the adjusted basic analysis model of the value chain,taking Anji County as a specific case,summarizing the pathways for realizing the value of carbon sink ecological products and value activities of three different products.The empirical analysis found that Anji County comprehensively used three paths,taking the market path for private carbon sink ecological products to develop ecological industries,while for bamboo forest carbon sink with quasi-public product attributes,the government-market cooperation path was adopted to build the natural capital bank platform,creating a carbon sink trading market to realize the value.For carbon sink ecological products with the attribute of pure public goods,on the one hand,the converted value can be used to feed back,and on the other hand,ecological compensation can be used to realize the value through the government path.Therefore,Anji County is taking the bamboo forest carbon sink as the starting point to promote the revitalization of the local bamboo industry and realize the industrial integrated development of carbon sink ecological products.Above all,this paper proposes a composite pathway for realizing the value of carbon sink ecological products.Under the premise of emphasizing government responsibility,the three paths are used in the value implementation of carbon sink ecological products.The comprehensive application and coordination of three pathways,with the rational selection of policies,will achieve a high-level transformation of the value of carbon sink and promote the development of carbon sink industrialization.At the same time,this paper summarizes the basic activities and auxiliary activities for the composite pathway.The basic value activities are summarized from five aspects:clarifying the ownership of ecological resources,promoting the large-scale operation of the carbon sink industry,expanding market transaction channels,building regional public brands,advocating the practice of green and low-carbon concepts,and strengthening the supply of comprehensive services.The auxiliary value activities have four aspects:improving organizational infrastructure construction,ensuring human resource construction,innovative technology research and development and digital multi-scenario application,and enhancing policy and system supply.
