Abstract

Under the background of climate change, "low carbon economy" based on low energy consumption and low pollution has emerged and become a global hot spot. As an effective tool to cope with climate change and develop low-carbon economy, carbon labeling is getting more and more attention from countries all over the world. However, China's carbon labeling started late, and in the construction of the legal system, it faces problems such as difficult to determine the scope of implementation, non-uniform evaluation standards, and difficulties in the implementation of the system. Therefore, it is proposed that countermeasures should be taken to compile a catalog of carbon labeling products and services, establish uniform evaluation standards, so as to achieve the purpose of developing a low-carbon economy, mitigating climate change and contributing to the early realization of the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
