Research on Constraints and Countermeasures of Forest Carbon Sink Economic Development in Sichuan Province

Abstract

In response to global climate change, China has made a solemn commitment to achieve carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, with the development of carbon sink economy being an important approach to fulfill the dual carbon goals. Sichuan Province, with its abundant forest resources and vast territory, possesses a strong carbon sink capacity, which naturally lends itself to the development of a carbon sink economy. Based on Sichuan Province, this paper analyzes the current situation and challenges of carbon sink economic development, explores the ecological compensation mechanism for carbon sink economy under the dual drivers of ecological protection and economic development, harnesses the ecological functions of carbon sink economy, and contributes to the realization of the dual carbon goals, in line with the concept of “Clear waters and green mountains are invaluable assets”.
