“一带一路”倡议下区域碳不平等量化及政策启示

Quantifying regional carbon inequality and policy implications under the “Belt and Road” Initiative

  • 摘要: 在全球贸易背景下量化分析“一带一路”区域的碳不平等,厘清“一带一路”区域隐含碳排放和经济收益不均衡分配的内在机制,是践行绿色“一带一路”倡议的科学前提及基础.本研究基于全球贸易分析项目(GTAP)数据库,构建环境拓展的多区域投入产出(MRIO)模型,涵盖102个“一带一路”沿线国家和地区,且依沿线区位合并为9大研究区域,核算生产和消费视角下“一带一路”区域碳排放、增加值,追溯隐含碳排放、增加值在研究区域间的空间转移格局,通过构建双边贸易中碳不平等指标及全球贸易网络中碳不平等综合指标,全面地量化分析了“一带一路”区域的碳不平等现象.研究表明: 1)2014年“一带一路”区域生产和消费视角下的碳排放分别占全球碳排放总量(25966.23 Mt)的65.29%和60.54%;“一带一路”区域生产和消费视角下的增加值分别占全球增加值总额(669714.27亿美元)的40.87%和40.10%.2)在全球贸易中,“一带一路”区域承担来自非“一带一路”区域的净碳排放转移(即“一带一路”区域向非“一带一路”区域净出口隐含碳排放量)1234.25 Mt,同时从非“一带一路”区域获得了5154.83亿美元净经济收益;其中,“一带一路”中东区域作为“一带一路”区域中唯一的隐含碳排放净进口区域,向“一带一路”区域净转移碳排放152.18 Mt,同时在全球贸易中获得了2801.36亿美元净经济收益;中国是最大的隐含碳排放净出口区域,承担来自全球的净碳排放转移达到903.98 Mt,其中31.30%来自“一带一路”区域的净碳排放转移,同时在全球贸易中承担了349.12亿美元净经济损失.3)在“一带一路”区域内,中国和“一带一路”中东区域之间的碳不平等指标最大,为1.75,表明中国在双边贸易碳不平等中处于不利地位,这主要是由中国重工业、建筑业部门与“一带一路”中东区域贸易中存在严重的隐含碳排放和增加值错配导致;“一带一路”中东区域在全球贸易网络中碳不平等综合指标为2.53,表现为主要受益者,这主要是由于该区域农业、建筑业和服务业均为隐含碳排放净进口部门,而重工业部门获得了大量的净经济收益.整体来看,“一带一路”区域在全球贸易碳不平等中普遍处于不利地位,中国、“一带一路”南亚区域和“一带一路”欧洲区域在全球贸易网络中碳不平等综合指标分别为−2.60、−2.16、−2.22,是全球贸易碳不平等的主要受害者.本研究结果可为在全球贸易下践行绿色“一带一路”倡议,实现“一带一路”区域碳治理与经济协调发展提供科学依据和政策启示.

     

    Abstract: In the context of global trade, quantitative analysis of carbon inequality in the “Belt and Road” region, and clarification of internal mechanism of uneven distribution of embodied carbon emissions and economic benefits in the “Belt and Road” region lay the scientific foundation for implementation of green “Belt and Road” Initiative.Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database was used to build an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output (MRIO) model.This MRIO model covers a total of 102 countries and regions in the “Belt and Road” region, divided into 9 areas according to location.Carbon emissions were calculated from the perspective of production and consumption, traces spatial transfer patterns of embodied carbon emissions and added value.Index of carbon inequality in bilateral trade and comprehensive index of carbon inequality in the global trade network were built, to comprehensively quantify and analyze the phenomenon of carbon inequality.In 2014, carbon emissions from production and consumption in the “Belt and Road” region accounted for 65.29% and 60.54% of total global carbon emissions (25966.23 Mt), respectively.Value added from production and consumption in the region accounted for 40.87% and 40.10% of total global value added (66971.427 billion US dollars), respectively.In Global trade, the “Belt and Road” region bore 1234.25 Mt of net carbon emission transfer from non “Belt and Road” region, and obtained 515.483 billion US dollars of net economic benefits from non the “Belt and Road” region.“Belt and Road” Middle East region, was found to be the only net importer of embodied carbon emissions: a transfer of 152.18 Mt of carbon emissions to “Belt and Road” region, and a net economic benefits of 280.136 billion US dollars in Global trade.China was the largest net exporter of embodied carbon emissions, bearing 903.98 Mt of net carbon emissions, 31.30% was from the “Belt and Road” region.China bore a net economic loss of 34.912 billion US dollars in Global trade.Carbon inequality index between China and “Belt and Road” Middle East region was the largest, reaching 1.75.China was in a disadvantaged position for carbon inequality in bilateral trade, mainly due to serious mismatch of embodied carbon emissions and value added in the bilateral trade between heavy industry, construction sector and “Belt and Road” Middle East region. Comprehensive index of carbon inequality in the global trade network of “Belt and Road” Middle East region was 2.53.Agriculture, construction, and service industries in the region were net importers of embodied carbon emissions, while the heavy industry sector obtained a large amount of net economic benefits.“Belt and Road” region was generally at a disadvantage in the global trade carbon inequality.Comprehensive indexes of carbon inequality in global trade network of China, “Belt and Road” South Asia region and “Belt and Road” Europe region were −2.60, −2.16 and −2.22 respectively, being victims of carbon inequality in global trade.This work provides the scientific basis for implementation of green “Belt and Road” Initiative under Global trade and realization of coordinated development of the “Belt and Road” regional carbon governance and economy.
