2025年5月15日，巴塞尔公约亚太区域中心（简称“亚太中心”）邀请挪威驻华大使馆环境参赞Elin Merete Økstad女士做客清华大学秀钟书院TOP TALK，开展主题为"碳排放交易体系(ETS)和中挪合作：如何通过市场机制实现温室气体减排目标"的讲座。讲座开始前，亚太中心执行主任李金惠教授和区域化学品管理室陈源博士接待了Elin女士。

在专题演讲中，Elin女士分享了她在环境领域的丰富经验，尤其是在排放交易体系和碳市场机制方面的专业知识。她强调了市场机制在减排政策工具箱中的关键作用，介绍了"污染者付费"原则，并详细解释了如何通过碳税和排放交易体系 (ETS) 对排放进行定价。她指出，尽管市场机制重要，但完整的政策组合还应包括研发投入、技术开发支持、基础设施建设和能源分配系统等其他工具。

在问答环节，现场同学就中挪环境合作、碳捕获与封存技术、能源市场波动以及可持续发展职业规划等话题与Elin女士进行了深入交流。

关于中挪环境合作，Elin女士表示中挪两国在环境领域已有30年的合作历史，2024年签署的绿色低碳发展谅解备忘录进一步强化了合作关系。双方在排放交易体系研究、塑料污染控制、有害化学品减少、生物多样性等多个领域开展了富有成效的合作，特别是排放交易领域的合作始于2012年。挪威政府已连续支持中国开展两期海洋废塑料和微塑料管理能力建设项目（亚太中心作执行机构）。

 

On May 15, 2025, the Basel Convention Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific (hereinafter referred to as "BCRC China/SCRCAP") invited Ms. Elin Merete Økstad, Environmental Counsellor of the Norwegian Embassy in China, to deliver a lecture titled "Emissions Trading System (ETS) and Sino-Norwegian Cooperation: Achieving Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets through Market Mechanisms" at Tsinghua University's Xiuzhong College TOP TALK. Prior to the lecture, Professor Li Jinhui, Executive Director of BCRC China/SCRCAP, and Dr. Chen Yuan, Chief of the Regional Chemicals Management Branch of BCRC China/SCRCAP received Ms. Elin.

During her presentation, Ms. Elin shared her extensive experience in environmental fields, particularly her expertise in emissions trading systems and carbon market mechanisms. She emphasized the critical role of market mechanisms within the policy toolbox for emission reduction, introduced the "polluter pays" principle, and elaborated on carbon pricing through carbon taxes and Emissions Trading Systems (ETS). She noted that while market mechanisms are important, a comprehensive policy mix should also incorporate other tools such as R&D investment, technological development support, infrastructure development, and energy distribution systems.

In the Q&A session, students engaged in in-depth discussions with Ms. Elin on topics including China-Norway environmental cooperation, carbon capture and storage technologies, energy market volatility, and career planning in sustainable development.

Regarding Sino-Norwegian environmental cooperation, Ms. Elin stated that the two countries share a 30-year history of collaboration in environmental fields, with cooperation further strengthened by the Green and Low-Carbon Development Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2024. Productive collaboration has been conducted in multiple areas including ETS research, plastic pollution control, hazardous chemical reduction, and biodiversity protection. Cooperation in emissions trading specifically began in 2012. The Norwegian government has consecutively supported two phases of marine plastic and microplastic management capacity-building projects in China, with BCRC China/SCRCAP serving as the implementing agency.
