Constructing the ecological compensation mechanism between
regions is an important way to promote the coordinated development of
regions. Based on the average carbon emission and carbon absorption, this
paper design the standard of regional ecological compensation, establishes the
regional carbon budget account and compensation mechanism, and realizes
the interregional ecological compensation through the balance of carbon
account. Taking Guangdong as an example, the calculation results show that:
both of the optimized development zone and the key development zone are
in carbon deficit, and the ecological development zone is in carbon surplus.
The optimizing development zone should pay about 2.5 billion yuan/year,
the key development zone should pay 80million yuan / year to the ecological
development zones for carbon compensation. The carbon deficit of optimized
development zones and key development zones is far greater than the carbon
surplus of ecological development zones. It is suggested to adopt the ecological
compensation mode based on carbon balance between the main functional
areas: (1) direct economic compensation led by the government; (2) establish a
carbon data sharing platform; (3) provide technical support.
