The diagram places dual carbon goals at the highest level. A branch connects to 3 national-level boxes. The first reads action plan for carbon dioxide peaking before 2030. The second reads accounting method for ocean carbon sink. The third reads assessment and evaluation method for ecological civilization construction. Each national-level box connects to a local-level box. The first local-level box reads local carbon peaking implementation plans. The second reads 6 provinces developed specific methodologies for ecosystems such as seagrass beds, mangroves, and so on. The third reads incorporating carbon sinks into annual local government work report, high-quality development performance evaluation.China’s multilevel governance structure for ocean carbon sinks
