The voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading market is an important part of my country's carbon market and an institutional innovation that mobilizes the entire society to participate in greenhouse gas emission reduction actions. Due to its excellent ecological and climatic conditions, Guyuan City is currently the city with the largest afforestation carbon sink reserves in our district. In order to find out the development situation of Guyuan afforestation carbon sink projects, guide carbon sink projects to accelerate their integration into the voluntary emission reduction trading market. Recently, the Autonomous Region's Department of Ecology and Environment went to Guyuan to carry out assistance work on afforestation carbon sink projects.
The assistance team first went to the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Guyuan City and held a symposium on the development progress of the afforestation carbon sink project in Guyuan City. At the meeting, relevant comrades from the Autonomous Region Department of Ecology and Environment interpreted the "Measures for the Management of Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Trading (Trial)" and explained in detail the development work process and matters needing attention for greenhouse gas voluntary emission reduction projects. Relevant comrades from the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Guyuan City introduced the specific situation of afforestation in various counties (districts) in Guyuan City, the progress of afforestation carbon sink development and the current difficulties. Members of the assistance team actively discussed and communicated in depth with relevant comrades from the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Guyuan City on the issues raised, and jointly discussed the next steps to promote the issue.
Subsequently, the assistance team went to the afforestation site in Yangdian Village, Chengguan Town, Longde County, the demonstration site in Minning Collaborative Carbon Sink Forest in Jingyuan County, the ecological restoration and comprehensive development demonstration site in Yanjiashan Ecological Immigrant Area, and the afforestation demonstration site No. 77 in Lamwan, Pengyang County. They inspected the growth situation, rights confirmation and whether they met the development requirements of afforestation carbon sink projects, and put forward relevant development suggestions based on the specific conditions of the demonstration sites.
Through this assistance, the Autonomous Region Department of Ecology and Environment has basically figured out the status of projects in Guyuan City that are consistent with afforestation carbon sink methodology, and established good communication channels with the project implementation units. In the next step, the Autonomous Region Department of Ecology and Environment will continue to support the development of the CCER project in Guyuan City, and further comprehensively grasp key information such as the types, development status, expected emission reductions and carbon asset development potential of the district's greenhouse gas emission reduction projects, and continue to strengthen the development and management of voluntary emission reduction projects to provide new momentum for the realization of the value of ecological products.
