Research On The Impact Of Environmental Regulation On Carbon Emissions In The Yangtze River Economic Belt

The climate problem is the main environmental problem facing human beings at present.In order to avoid various environmental crises brought about by climate change,all countries in the world should actively participate in the reduction of greenhouse gases mainly carbon dioxide.Due to factors such as population base and industrial structure,my country’s energy consumption and carbon emissions are at the forefront of the world.Carbon emission reduction cannot be achieved overnight,and requires long-term planning and continuous advancement.The low-carbon transformation of the economy also requires a lot of time and effort.It is necessary to implement the concept of green development,accelerate the green transformation of the economy,and promote efficient and high-quality economic development.Achieving carbon neutrality is a necessary step to slow down global warming.In order to promote the early peak of carbon emissions and lay the foundation for the realization of the goal of carbon neutrality,all regions and industries should earnestly adhere to green development and promote the construction of a green and low-carbon cycle industrial system.Environmental problems are typical external problems.Both enterprises and citizens should take responsibility for the social environment.It cannot rely solely on incentives or mandatory environmental protection measures formulated and implemented by the government.It requires everyone’s environmental awareness and conscious actions.All social entities should independently control and reduce carbon emissions to ensure the green and circular development of the "economy-energy-environment" system.Starting from carbon neutrality,environmental protection and low-carbon life should become social consensus and a new code of conduct.Environmental regulation refers to a series of environmental policies and measures formulated and implemented by various social entities such as the government.It is a very important governance tool for environmental problems such as pollution.Its effective implementation can promote the green transformation of the economy and promote carbon emission reduction.My country’s environmental regulation is mainly divided into explicit and implicit environmental regulation,explicit environmental regulation includes imperative and incentive-based environmental regulation.Studying the impact of different types of environmental regulations on carbon emissions can test the effectiveness and necessity of current environmental regulation tools,clarify the direction of carbon emissions’ governance in the next step and the adjustment direction of environmental regulation policies,in order to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the economy and high-efficiency.Create conditions for quality development.Based on the current status of carbon emissions,this paper uses panel data from2005 to 2019 to explore the relationship between environmental regulation and carbon emissions in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from a spatial perspective,then uses the SEVM method to extract the spatial correlation,and further explores the relationship between different types of environmental regulations and carbon emissions By analyzing the structural differences in the impact of different types of environmental regulations on carbon emissions,the main conclusions are as follows:（1）Under the influence of incentive-based environmental regulation,there is a threshold effect on carbon emissions.When the level of incentive environmental regulation exceeds the threshold value,the impact of imperative environmental regulation on carbon emissions changes from inhibition to promotion.（2）Incentive environmental regulation has a significant "green paradox" phenomenon and positive spatial spillover to carbon emissions.At the same time,there is an "inverted U"-shaped nonlinear relationship between incentive environmental regulation and carbon emissions,which promotes first and then inhibits.（3）Implicit environmental regulation has a negative spatial impact and spatial spillover on carbon emissions,and there is a threshold effect under the influence of incentive-based environmental regulation.When the incentive-based environmental regulation is lower than the critical value,the emission reduction of implicit environmental regulation The effect is good,and the carbon emission reduction effect is weakened after the critical value is exceeded,that is,a higher level of incentive-based environmental regulation will weaken the inhibitory effect of implicit environmental regulation on carbon emissions.
