A Preliminary Study on the Value Accounting Method of Climate Ecological Products

Climate system is an important component of the complex coupled ecosystem. The exploitation and utilization of the resources such as wind, light and water play an important role in improving the value realization mechanism of ecological products. Currently, meteorological authorities across the country have conducted a large number of practical explorations regarding the value realization of climate ecological products. However, the research on the construction of the climate ecological product system and value accounting is still in its initial stage. Based on the research progress of the ecological product value accounting, we clarify the connotation of climate ecological product value, and preliminarily construct the value accounting system of climate ecological products, including supply services, regulation services and cultural services. We further refine the system into seven accounting indicators and provide methods for calculating their quantities and values. At the same time, policy recommendations are proposed for establishing a sophisticated climate ecological product value accounting mechanism in the future. It is aimed to provide reference for the further implementation of value accounting of climate ecological products and for the promotion of the two-way conversion between “lucid waters and lush mountains” and “mountains of gold and silver”.
