China needs to accelerate the development of its carbon emission verification and accounting system, and it is urgent to enhance its influence in international standards related to carbon emissions. There are three aspects: first, accelerating the development of China’s \"dual carbon\" standard system. **Relevant departments are taking the lead in conducting research on strategies for standardization in carbon emissions, in order to accelerate the development of China’s \"dual carbon\" standard system. It is necessary to promptly address the shortcomings in key areas such as carbon emission accounting, reporting, verification, disclosure, certification, and labeling. Efforts should be made to strengthen the development of basic carbon emission databases, align accounting methods with international standards, improve accounting criteria and verification mechanisms, and establish standards and labeling systems for the carbon footprint throughout the life cycle of low-carbon products. Second, actively participate in the formulation and revision of international standards for energy efficiency and low carbon emissions. Adhering to a proactive attitude of openness and cooperation, integrating into the international systems of energy efficiency and carbon emission standards and rules, and strengthening the coordination of international standards ； Actively participate in the formulation and revision of international standards in related fields, and promote the establishment of working groups led by China based on existing TCs (Standardization Technical Committees) ； Promote the establishment of new TCs in relevant fields, take on secretariat duties, and develop more international carbon emission standards led by our country. Third, to become a leading enterprise in international certification for carbon emission standards. Strengthen cooperation with internationally renowned standards and certification bodies, standardize the entry requirements for the carbon emission verification and accounting industry, refine work processes, and unify verification standards ； Actively integrate into internationally recognized mutual recognition systems, build a brand for domestic enterprises that provide international certification for carbon emission standards, and promote the healthy development of China’s carbon emission verification industry ； Establish a carbon standard certification system aligned with international standards, and accelerate the development of a number of intermediary agencies capable of formulating carbon emission standards as well as providing certification and testing services with international competitiveness.
