The Evolution Of Global Resource Recycling Trade Carbon Transfer Network And Its Influencing Factors

With the improvement of global awareness of environmental protection,the division of carbon emission responsibilities has also received more and more attention from countries.The resource recycling industry refers to the industry that extracts usable materials from solid waste and other garbage and puts them back into use.In recent years,more and more countries have begun to use the resource recycling sector to transfer garbage or extract scarce materials to make up for the shortage of resources,which makes the proportion of recyclable resources trade in global trade continue to increase,and the impact on the environmental development of various countries is also increasing.Therefore,research on resource recycling trade and the evolution of the carbon transfer network pattern in this industry will have an important impact on global environmental governance and the formulation of environmental policies in various countries.In view of this,this paper takes the global resource recycling trade as the research object for the first time.Based on the global recyclable resource trade data from 1990 to 2015,by constructing a resource recycling trade network and a carbon transfer network,while making a comparative analysis of the two,it focuses on characterization.The evolution path of the global resource recovery trade carbon transfer network from 1990 to 2015.The study found that although the evolution trends of the two networks are generally similar,there are significant differences in the macro,meso and micro levels.At the macro level,the resource recovery trade network has a larger scale,higher density and accessibility,while the structure of the resource recovery trade carbon transfer network is more irrational than the trade network.The trade carbon transfer relationship is only Concentrated among a few countries,there is a large imbalance,which is unfavorable to global environmental governance;at the meso level,the two networks are quite different in terms of the number of associations and the degree of modularity.The carbon transfer network of recycling trade began to develop in the 1990 s and formed a relatively stable pattern in 1996;at the micro level,developed countries dominated the export market of global resource recycling trade,while developing countries dominated the carbon transfer network.Export market.Developing countries have shouldered the responsibility of carbon emissions for developed countries.In addition,China’s position in both networks has continued to rise.Especially after the relaxation of import controls on recyclable resources in 2005,China has become an important importer of recyclable resources.and embodied carbon exporters.This paper also uses the QAP analysis method to further analyze the influencing factors of the carbon transfer network in resource recovery trade.The study finds that the economic development gap between countries is the most important factor affecting carbon transfer.The economic development level gap between the two countries The larger the value,the more likely carbon transfer will occur in resource recycling trade,which further proves that developing countries bear the responsibility of carbon emissions for developed countries;in addition,carbon transfer is also prone to occur between countries with large differences in environmental regulations,so countries should strengthen environmental legislation,strengthen the management of the resource recovery sector;geographic distance has a negative impact on the carbon transfer of resource recovery trade.The farther the distance is,the less likely the implied carbon transfer will occur between countries,but the degree of impact has been decreasing over the years.;the effect of language differences is not significant.This paper takes the implicit carbon transfer in the resource recycling industry as the research object for the first time.By constructing a network,describing its changing trend,it analyzes the implicit carbon transfer and its impact on the environment from the perspective of structural evolution and relationship.And further use the QAP analysis method to explore the influencing factors of carbon transfer,which is not only conducive to clearly dividing the carbon emission responsibilities of countries,but also conducive to global coordinated emission reduction,and provides reasonable suggestions for global environmental governance.
