Abstract:Ecological compensation mechanism is an important part of China's ecological civilization system and an important means to achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, with the continuous acceleration of China's ecological civilization, the role of ecological compensation is also becoming increasingly prominent. As an important economic zone in China, with the characteristics of high population density and high industrial cluster, the economic development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is accompanied by a large amount of carbon emissions. To promote the in-depth implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration strategy and ecological environment construction, this paper is based on the revised carbon account and uses the model construction method, spatial correlation analysis, and center of gravity shift to quantify ecological compensation standards and prioritize zoning research in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region with counties as evaluation units. The results show that: (1) the unrevised carbon accounts show a trend of low in the northwest and high in the southeast of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, while the revised carbon accounts are more evenly spatially distributed due to taking local differences between regions into account. (2) The high-high ecological compensation amount is mainly distributed around Beijing, around Shijiazhuang, and Handan-Xingtai, while the low-low ecological compensation amount is mainly concentrated in the northern counties of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the number of each cluster area showed a change trend of "increase first and then decrease later". (3) The center of gravity of ecological compensation amount in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province moves within 115°45'-116°2' E, 38°10'-38°20'N (Xian County and Raoyang County), with an overall trend from northeast to southwest, while in some years, the center of ecological compensation is reproduced from the southwest to the northeast. (4) The top five ecological compensation payment areas (Dachang Hui Autonomous County, Baoxiang County, Xinhe County, Haixing County, and Ren County) and the top five compensation areas (Shangyi County, Fuping County, Guyuan County, Kangbao County, and Chicheng County) remained basically stable from 2007 to 2017. The amount of ecological compensation in the overall payment area is greater than the amount of ecological compensation in the compensation area, and the top 20 regions of compensation subject and compensation receptor can basically realize the balance of ecological compensation at the county level. The results of this paper have important reference values for the development of corresponding emission reduction and carbon sequestration policies for the synergistic development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and contribute to the realization of the dual carbon goals.
