Research on the Operational Mechanism of Carbon Sink Bank

Abstract

With the deepening advancement of the "Dual Carbon" goals, the Carbon Sink Bank, as an innovative value realization mechanism for ecological products, plays an increasingly important role in promoting the capitalization and marketization of carbon sink resources. Based on the Externality Theory, Public Goods Theory, and Property Rights Theory, this paper constructs an operational mechanism framework for the Carbon Sink Bank from six aspects: participant collaboration, acquisition and integration, pricing and trading, transaction and circulation, risk prevention and control, and benefit distribution, thereby facilitating the value transformation of carbon sink ecological products. Addressing practical constraints such as the imperfect accounting system, ambiguous property rights definition, policy gaps, and insufficient support from financial instruments faced by the Carbon Sink Bank, this paper proposes optimization paths including improving the carbon sink accounting system, refining the carbon sink property rights system, and innovating financial instruments. The aim is to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the standardized operation of Carbon Sink Banks, enrich the value realization mechanisms for carbon sink ecological products, and support the national "Dual Carbon" strategy.
