The Evolution Of China’s Household Consumption Carbon Footprint Structure And Industrial Distribution

With the global warming,environmental issues have increasingly attracted the attention of all countries.The carbon footprint caused by the final consumption of residents in various industries,especially the indirect carbon footprint and carbon footprint in the region,has attracted more and more attention from the academic circles.Based on the research of scholars at home and abroad,the paper firstly uses the carbon emission coefficient method to calculate the carbon footprint of energy consumption or use of energy in different periods in China,as well as the consumption of commonly used energy types in different provinces and the resulting carbon.The situation of the footprint is analyzed.Secondly,using the input and output data of 2002,2005,2007,2010 and 2012,the time evolution characteristics and industrial distribution of urban and rural residents’ consumption carbon footprint are analyzed.Using the input-output data of 22 provinces in 2012 to analyze the spatial structure characteristics and industrial distribution of the indirect carbon footprint of residents in each industry;finally,based on the relationship between the dominant industries and local resource endowments in each province,based on 2012 The regional input-output table uses the MRIO model to explore the carbon footprint between provinces and their industrial distribution characteristics.The study found that:1)the direct carbon footprint of household consumption shows a growth trend,and the direct consumption carbon footprint shows a trend of increasing from west to east in spatial distribution;2)the industry with higher overall indirect carbon footprint of household consumption is food manufacturing and Tobacco processing industry,electricity and heat production and supply,and the spatial distribution characteristics of the indirect carbon footprint also show the characteristics of the east and the west less;3)the carbon footprint between the provinces,and the situation and geographical distribution Related to the resource endowment of the province,the closer the distance to the residents,the greater the carbon footprint is.In terms of the carbon footprint caused by the consumption of products from other provinces,the consumption of the first and third industries is lower than that of the secondary industry.High,different industrial sectors cause great differences,and there are concentrated carbon footprints caused by household consumption in individual provinces in a particular industry.According to the results of the direct and indirect carbon footprint of residents’ consumption and the distribution of industries in the time and space,as well as the consumption carbon footprint of different industries in different provinces,from the perspective of residents,industry and policy makers,Policy recommendations are made by the carbon footprint of household consumption.
