Abstract

The society gradually pays attention to carbon information disclosure, and it is very important for human beings to pay attention to carbon information disclosure and the formulation of a series of regulations in their actions on climate issues, but some enterprise subjects ignore carbon emissions and falsely disclose carbon information based on the principle of profit maximization, which leads to the difficulty of solving environmental problems. From the perspective of philosophy of science and technology, this paper tries to study the game strategy and information asymmetry among enterprises in different situations by taking information asymmetry as an entry point through game theory and Bayes' theorem, further analyze the negative impacts of false disclosure of enterprises and the chaos caused by the tragedy of the commons, etc., and analyze and interpret them through the theory of environmental justice and environmental ethics, and finally analyze and interpret them from the aspects of reducing information asymmetry. Finally, we summarize and reflect on the aspects of reducing information asymmetry, introducing environmental system and formulating industry norms.
