气候变化 - 低碳转型

应对下一个紧急情况

虽然新冠状病毒(Covid-19)疫情最严重的时刻已经过去,并且全球经济随之复苏,但气候变化对人类生存构成威胁且不断加剧,对此世界各国领导人再次努力找出应对办法。

地球的天气模式和温度出现长期大规模的转变,这对环境造成缓慢但持久的变化,有可能对整个经济造成广泛的破坏,并扰乱企业、民生和长期的社会稳定。

为稳定全球气温,以避免气候变化带来潜在的灾难性影响,联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC) 得出结论认为:二氧化碳(CO2) 净排放量必须在2050年左右降至零(图1)。达到该目标需要在未来几年内大幅减少所有经济活动(包括发电、工业、运输和农业)的碳排放,并需要新技术的支持,以去除大气中的二氧化碳。

如果世界经济能够成功快速脱碳,到本世纪末将有望使全球升温幅度限制在比工业化前水平高1.5摄氏度以内,这亦是2015年巴黎协定的最终目标。

中国国家主席习近平9月在联合国承诺,要在2030年前使二氧化碳排放量达到峰值,并在2060年前实现碳中和或碳净排放为零,这为全球实现巴黎协定气候目标注入了新的活力。

10月份,日本和韩国均宣布要在2050年前实现经济碳中和,实现零净排放。

欧洲已经开始朝2050年实现碳中和经济转型,而相关配套政策和法规将推动欧洲经济全面大规模地转型。

而在美国,当选总统拜登的优先事项包括重新加入巴黎协定,以及增加在交通、建筑和发电领域的绿色计划支出,以便在2050年之前将碳净排放量减少到零。

附注:图中显示了将全球升温幅度限制在1.5摄氏度的二氧化碳净排放量模型路径,绿色显示排放量受限或无过度排放,蓝色显示过度排放。

这意味着,到2021年,超过三分之二的世界经济体(包括中国、美国、欧盟、英国、日本和韩国)将加入应对气候变化的行列,并雄心勃勃地承诺到本世纪中实现碳中和。

然而要实现该目标,未来仍有更多的工作需要完成。根据气候行动追踪组织(Climate Action Tracker)的最新预测,按照目前的气温变化轨迹,到2100年全球气温将上升约2.7摄氏度,远远超过巴黎协定的1.5摄氏度的目标(图2)。

最近的气候趋势令人们感觉到形势更加紧迫:世界气象组织的最新数据显示,从2016年到2020年的五年间,预计将是历史记录以来最暖的时期,全球平均地表温度已经比工业化前的平均温度高出1.1摄氏度。

期待公布更多的政策行动

从全球来看,在不远的将来可能出现灾难性的气候变化,并对主要决策层及行业领导者产生越来越大的影响。

美国美联储在11月的金融稳定报告中警告说,气候变化「增加了一层经济不确定性和风险,而我们才刚刚开始将其纳入金融稳定分析的考虑之中」。

全球最大的资产管理公司贝莱德(BlackRock)表示,预计气候风险将推动全球资本的重大再分配,对风险和资产的定价产生深远影响。

虽然大多数政府不得不专心处理致命的疫情传播问题,并推迟了2020年的关键气候倡议,但我们预计在2021年11月举行的下一届联合国气候变化大会或第26次缔约国会议(COP26)之前,各国政府有望加大势头处理气候问题。

随着气候危机变得愈加严重,我们预计各国政府在监管和立法的支持下,将会承诺加强政策力度,实施必要的经济改革和激励措施,以加速全球经济去碳化。

在欧洲,拟议中的欧洲气候法将使到2050年实现零净排放的目标,对整个欧盟及其成员国产生法律约束力。

本月早前,英国宣布将在2025年之前强制要求英国整个经济领域的大公司和金融机构披露气候相关讯息,其中大部分要求将在2023年之前落实。

中国的「两会」为通常在3月举行的中国最高决策层的重要年度会议,而中国将在即将召开的两会上仔细审查以确定是否需要变革政策,以支持习主席关于到2060年实现中国经济碳中和的承诺。

而在美国,拜登新政府的支出计划(包括任何支持经济复苏的刺激措施),以及其他与气候目标相一致的举措,均将受到密切关注。

整体而言,我们预计未来几年全球的政策和法规将发生重大转变,将经济活动转向资源密集型程度较低的生产、运输和建筑模式,并大幅扩大清洁及零碳能源的使用。

联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯在2020年11月12日的巴黎和平论坛上说:「应该给碳定价。化石燃料补贴的时代已经结束。」「当局必须将碳中和的目标融入所有经济和财政政策和决策中,以真正实现工业、农业、交通和能源部门的转型。」

这些政策转变将推动整个价值链业务的重大变化,范围涵盖产品设计到生产,以及分派和回收。

结论

尽管向更能抵御气候变化的全球经济转型而同时向碳净排放为零过渡,对许多行业而言属于颠覆性的变革,但这将会推动创新和经济增长,并为企业创造新机会,以满足人们对更加环保和可持续的生活方式日益增长的需求。

减少排放和浪费、重复利用自然资源、提供支持人类活动全面去碳化的产品和服务的公司,有望引起投资者更大的兴趣及更多的投资资本,并将日渐受益于全球政府加强政策应对气候变化的趋势。
