Projects Supported by Special Funds for the Six Major Marine Industries in 2022

The project aims to serve Guangdong's construction as a strong marine province and the national low-carbon development strategy. It relies on the logical framework of micro-meso-macro and is based on the research path of data-method-accounting-analysis-forecast. It also establishes standards and norms for collecting carbon emission data in the Guangdong marine industry at the level of theory and practice . The project will clarify the background of carbon emissions in Guangdong's marine industry and create a basic database of marine industry carbon emissions. The project conducts systematic analysis and comprehensive research and judgment on carbon emissions in Guangdong’s marine industry and provide guidance for promoting Guangdong's marine industry to achieve low-carbon development.

The interdisciplinary research team is composed of researchers from the economics, management, environmental science and other disciplines at JNU. An active exploration of interdisciplinary research at JNU, it is also a concrete action to serve national and local development strategies.
