On the afternoon of May 29, 2022, the sub-forum of the 2022 International Carbon Neutrality University Academic Conference Carbon Neutral Policy and Law co-hosted by the Law School of Southeast University and the School of Economics and Management was successfully held in Hall 224, Shangqinhuai International Cultural Exchange Center, Nanjing. Among them, the second phase of the sub-forum was presided over by Professor Ouyang Benqi, Dean of the Law School of Southeast University, and three speakers, including Wang Canfa, Chairman of the Chinese Society of Environmental Science and Law and Professor of the University of Political Science and Law of China, President of the Japan Environmental Law Policy Society, Chairman of the Japan Environmental Information Science Center, professor of Waseda University, Vice President and Secretary General of the Environmental Resources Law Research Association of the Chinese Law Society, and Professor Qin Tianbao of Wuhan University, were invited to give online reports. Associate Professor Liu Qichuan, Associate Professor Liu Mingquan, Deputy Secretary and Vice Dean of the Law School of Southeast University, as well as alumni, graduate students and undergraduates attended the event, and some experts from Nanjing universities, scientific research institutions and practical departments also attended the meeting. Before the guest speeches, Dean Ouyang first extended a warm welcome to the three speakers, and introduced their academic influence in the field of Environmental Law in China and abroad.

Professor Wang Canfa comprehensively introduced China's policies and legislative guarantees for promoting the realization of the dual carbon target. First, the introduction of carbon peak carbon neutrality has become a goal and vision that our government and people must achieve. Second, the analysis of carbon peaking and the realization of carbon neutrality goals require sound policies and legal safeguards. Third, the system has sorted out the framework of the two-carbon policy that China has established, and has some laws, regulations, rules and normative documents related to the two carbons, and some localities have also formulated special local regulations and rules to promote low-carbon development and carbon emission trading, and established systems and measures to encourage renewable energy development, circular economy system, cleaner production system, energy conservation system, carbon emission trading system, energy consumption intensity and total dual control system, energy conservation and carbon reduction target government assessment system, etc. Fourth, it is pointed out that China's two-carbon policies and legislation are still facing the challenges of carbon peaking and carbon neutral policies and legislation, lack of effective management and incentive systems, and failure to establish effective supervision and management and coordination mechanisms. Fifth, summarize the future improvement path of China's two-carbon policies and legal and regulatory systems.

Professor Nao Otsuka discusses the legal system of Climate Change Countermeasures and Zero-Carbon Society in Japan in light of the latest theoretical and practical developments. First, analyze international trends such as the IPCC and the current status of Japan's carbon neutrality regulations. Second, sort out the basic plan for the sixth energy, revise the warming countermeasure plan, and revise the long-term strategy. Third, we will provide a comprehensive introduction to the formulation and framework of Japan's Global Warming Countermeasure Promotion Act. Fourth, the framework and characteristics of japan's basic energy policy law, energy use rationalization method, renewable energy introduction promotion law, urban low carbon promotion law, regional public transportation activation and regeneration law, etc. are introduced. Fifth, analyze carbon-neutral action plans as an autonomous response for industry. Sixth, introduce the dynamics of ESG investment in the financial community. Seventh, explore the types of carbon pricing in Japan. Eighth, the basic situation and application status of Japan's climate change adaptation method are introduced. Ninth, we will point out the issue of carbon neutrality legal regulation in Japan in the future and the implications that can be drawn from Chinese law.

Professor Qin Tianbao introduced the legal guarantee for achieving the goal of carbon peak carbon neutrality under the overall system view from the perspective of jurisprudence and structure. First, introduce the introduction of the overall system view. As a panoramic research perspective condensed in policy, culture and philosophy, the holistic system view organically integrates the scientific basis and legal principles, which is highly consistent with the goal of achieving carbon peak carbon neutrality. Second, from the four dimensions of time, space, value and norms, the legal basis for achieving carbon neutrality to peak carbon is sorted out, and the unity of synchronicity and diachronicity, the combination of universality and particularity, the equalization of professionalism and powerism, and the integration of public law and private law are basically presented. Third, in order to achieve a mature and self-consistent carbon-neutral rule of law structure, it is advisable to promote the formation of a climate change-response legislative system that not only creates new laws but also follows the old law, a legal enforcement system in which regulatory and promotional mechanisms are coordinated, a judicial guarantee system that has both relief and preventive functions, and a social governance system that interacts from the top down and bottom up in both directions.

Finally, President Ouyang Benqi summarized the wonderful speeches of the three guests, and issued a sincere invitation to all guests to go to Nanjing for on-site guidance after the end of the epidemic. The speakers expressed their gratitude and will continue to support. The sub-forum was successfully concluded!

After more than 20 years of development, the School of Law of Southeast University has continued to grow in scale and improve the quality of running schools, and has formed a four-in-one talent training system of national-level first-class undergraduate professional construction point, first-class ll.m. degree authorization point, first-level ll.m. doctoral degree authorization point, and law postdoctoral mobile station, which is a key discipline in Jiangsu Province. This forum further enhances the academic influence of law schools at home and abroad in the field of carbon neutral rule of law protection!
