On July 16, the national carbon emissions trading market was officially launched. The average transaction price on the first day of the national carbon market was 51.23 yuan/ton, with a transaction volume of 4,104,400 tons, and a transaction volume of more than 210 million yuan. The first 30·60 International Conference and the First Carbon Market Forum were hosted by the People's Government of Hubei Province and undertaken by the People's Government of Wuchang District, Hubei University of Economics and other units. Experts and scholars of our school expressed their opinions on the summit forum, which attracted wide attention from the Hubei Daily, Yangtze River Daily and many other media. Elements of Hubei University of Economics shine in all aspects of the construction of the carbon trading market.
Wen Xingsheng, secretary of the school party committee, pointed out in the First 30·60 International Conference that the national carbon market is an important policy tool for achieving carbon peak and carbon neutral goals. Our school integrates resources and demonstrates its due responsibility in terms of talent training, discipline construction, scientific research and social services.
In the speech at the first carbon market forum, he pointed out that China's carbon market construction is not only a matter for China, but also provides a reference for the construction of global carbon markets, especially for developing countries. Hubei Province’s pilot carbon market has always been at the forefront of the country, and now China’s carbon emission rights registration system has also settled in Wuhan, becoming the most important carbon emissions trading data center in the country and even the world, contributing to the construction of the carbon market.
Lu Xiaocheng , Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice, President presided over the first half of Forum. Professor Sun Yongping, Executive Deputy Dean of the School of Low Carbon Economics and Executive Deputy Director of Hubei Collaborative Innovation Center for Carbon Emission Trading, presided over the second half of Forum and made a speech entitled Theoretical Innovation, Practical Achievements and Future Prospects of Hubei Carbon Market.
In recent years, our school’s contribution to the carbon trading market has been repeatedly reported by the media. Guangming Daily, China Environment News, Hubei Daily, Yangtze River Daily and other party media party journals have repeatedly invited experts and scholars from our school to express their views. Our school has taken a good step forward in the construction of the carbon market and the green and low-carbon transformation and development of the local economy.
