Research on the Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutralization Model in Colleges and Universities: Taking China University of Geosciences (Beijing) as an Example

Abstract

The “3060” goal demonstrates China’s responsibility in actively responding to global climate, enhances China’s voice and influence in climate governance, and sets an example of energy conservation and emission reduction for developing countries. As the main institutions that educate people for the Party and the country, colleges and universities have the responsibility to explore the realization path of carbon peak and carbon neutralization against the new problems encountered in the practice of energy conservation and emission reduction in colleges and universities. In response to the national strategy and the action plan of the Ministry of Education, taking the carbon practice of China University of Geosciences (Beijing) as the starting point, this paper conducts benchmarking research on the path of carbon peak and carbon neutralization in universities through the ecological factor method, campus carbon footprint, and questionnaire analysis.
