Abstract:In recent years, the international community has begun to integrate the carbon sequestration capacity of Marine ecosystems into the existing policy framework. Our country has good resource conditions for blue carbon development, but blue carbon development is facing a series of problems and challenges both in theory and practice. We need to make original innovation in relevant theories based on the reality of our country's development, so as to strengthen our ability to cope with climate change and realize the linkage effect of multiple benefits, including political, economic, social and ecological. Therefore, theories such as capitalization of ecological resources, public goods, externality, payment of ecosystem services, collaborative governance, land-sea pooling are used to construct a theoretical analysis framework for blue carbon development in China. In view of the challenges faced by China's blue carbon development, such as impacts on carbon sovereignty, greater than expected price fluctuations of blue carbon trading, constraints on blue carbon international cooperation, and uncertainty about whether coastal wetlands prefer carbon sinks or carbon sources on the whole, this paper analyzes and proposes four specific paths on the basis of unwavering carbon sovereignty, with the independence of blue carbon industrial policy as the main line: The policy improvement path based on the capitalization theory of ecological resources, the price stability path based on the payment theory of public goods, externalities and ecosystem services, the international cooperation path based on the cooperative governance theory, and the ecological protection path based on the land-sea integration theory. Further, it puts forward the prospect of future research on blue carbon development in three aspects: First, the expansion of the blue carbon project, definition and enhancement of additionality; Second, deepening the theory and practice of blue carbon construction of different biological resources; Third, the advantages and disadvantages of different construction methods and results.
