On October 24, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued a circular on the "Work Programme for Improving the Statistical Accounting System of Carbon Emissions" (hereinafter referred to as the "Programme"), saying that in order to carry out the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, speed up the consolidation of the basic system of double control of carbon emissions, and build and improve the statistical accounting system of carbon emissions. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the National Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Housing, Urban and Rural Construction, the Ministry of Transport, the General Administration of Market Supervision and the National Energy Administration have formulated the Work Plan for Improving the Statistical Accounting System of Carbon Emissions.
The original text is as follows:
By 2025, the national and provincial carbon emission annual report and express report system will be fully established, a number of industry and enterprise carbon emission accounting standards and product carbon footprint accounting standards will be issued and implemented, and positive progress will be made in the construction of product carbon footprint management system. The national greenhouse gas emission factor database has been basically completed and regularly updated, and the level of carbon emission-related measurement, detection, monitoring and analysis capabilities has been significantly improved.
By 2030, a systematic and complete statistical accounting system for carbon emissions will be established, the national and provincial statistical accounting systems for carbon emissions will be fully established and effectively operated, the standards and rules for carbon emissions accounting in key industries will be more sound, the carbon emissions management capacity of key energy-using and carbon-emitting units will be significantly improved, and the carbon emissions management capacity of key energy-using and carbon-emitting units will be significantly improved. The product carbon footprint management system is more perfect, and the carbon emission data can effectively meet the requirements of carbon emission control at all levels, in all fields and in all industries.

(1) Strengthen overall planning of work. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the National Bureau of Statistics, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the General Administration of Market Supervision and the National Energy Administration, have established a coordination mechanism for carbon emission statistics and accounting, coordinated important policies, strengthened data management, strengthened data application, and carried out basic research to promote the formation of joint efforts.
(2) Strengthen data management. According to the principle of "who accounts, who manages and who is responsible", the carbon emission data of the whole country, regions and industries should be managed and applied. To meet the requirements of dual control of carbon emissions, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments have done a good job in collecting, managing and sharing carbon emissions data at different levels, relying on relevant data to carry out situation research, warning, evaluation and assessment, and timely sharing of relevant analysis results with data providers.
(3) Strengthen the implementation of dispatch.All regions should formulate specific plans for the implementation of relevant work, effectively strengthen the construction of the statistical accounting system of carbon emissions in the region, consolidate the relevant basis of statistical accounting of carbon emissions, and make a forward-looking analysis of carbon emissions in the region. The National Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with relevant departments, will conduct timely dispatch and inspection of the implementation of various regions, and provide supervision and assistance to areas where the progress of work is lagging behind.
