Research on the Delimitation of Marine Spatial Pattern Based on the Goal of “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality”

In the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality (“double carbon”), it is urgent to clarify the effect of marine spatial planning (MSP) on carbon sink increases and emission reductions, since such planning acts as a spatial governance tool for the earth’s largest carbon pool. In this paper, a...

description In the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality (“double carbon”), it is urgent to clarify the effect of marine spatial planning (MSP) on carbon sink increases and emission reductions, since such planning acts as a spatial governance tool for the earth’s largest carbon pool. In this paper, a linkage model between marine spatial functional zones and carbon distribution is established. To explore the relationship between marine spatial functional zones and carbon, the study analyzed the carbon increase or reduction role of sea-use activities in each zone and considered the carbon sequestration function of the marine ecosystem itself. A marine spatial pattern of “Two Spaces and Four Carbon Areas” is proposed to present the linkage. A carbon distribution pattern in marine space is delimited using the linkage model and the current MSP in the case study of the city of Tangshan, Hebei, China. Some measures have been taken or planned to be taken in Tangshan to improve the carbon sink function of the ecosystem and the marine space. The supporting role of MSP in achieving the “double carbon” goal is studied, and the paths and suggestions for integrating the “double carbon” goal into MSP are explored.
