A Study on Carbon Asset Management Models under the Global Sustainable Development Context

Against the increasingly urgent backdrop of global climate change and sustainable development, carbon emissions have become a key indicator for assessing the greening level of economic activities. As a scarce resource and a market-oriented instrument, carbon emission rights have been incorporated into national governance systems and corporate balance sheets. Based on the theoretical framework of sustainable development, ecological economics, and environmental finance, this paper analyzes the evolution, institutional differences, and practical challenges of global carbon asset management (CAM). It further proposes a carbon asset management model grounded in life cycle assessment (LCA) and dynamic optimization. By integrating four modules—carbon accounting, carbon pricing, carbon investment, and carbon performance evaluation—the model achieves systematic management of carbon assets and supports the realization of global carbon reduction goals.
