Abstract
This essay explores the concept of activity-based carbon neutrality as a critical component in achieving carbon emission reduction targets. With the Chinese government’s commitment to carbon sequestration by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. activity-based carbon neutrality has gamed prominence as a hot topic in environmental discussions. The essay emphasizes the significance of activity-based carbon neutrality in promoting public awareness and participation in carbon reduction efforts. It highlights the existing research gap in this field and stresses the need for exploring methodologies to achieve activity-based carbon neutrality. The essay outlines the accounting standards for activity-based carbon neutrality, focusing on large-scale events and offering practical examples of carbon emission reduction measures during the preparation, execution, and conclusion phases of activities. Additionally, it introduces carbon offsetting methods such as carbon quotas and carbon credits. The article also presents a specific case study of the “Six-Five Environment Day National Event” held in Liaoning Province, which successfully achieved carbon neutrality through various initiatives. Overall, the essay encourages further investigation into activity-based carbon neutrality to enhance overall carbon reduction efforts.
