Carbon neutrality is a strategic task at the stage of China's green development, and the driving policy is an important hand to realize the vision of carbon neutrality. Under the framework of green development, the article reviews the development process and research hotspots of carbon neutrality in China from the perspectives of policy system and academic research, and explores the path of institutional and policy innovation to realize the vision of carbon neutrality. It is necessary to promote the coordination of carbon neutral policies from a higher position, study core technologies and emission reduction paths in response to climate change with a broader perspective, guide the financial support for carbon neutral green development in a more flexible way, and strengthen the capacity building of green development toward the goal of carbon neutrality.
