Hunan Province Carbon Emission Affecting Factors And Policy Research

Global climate warming is one of the most serious environmental andcomplicated challenges in the21stcentury.Climate change is not only the problem ofclimate system but also economy politics and so on.At present,the internationalscientific community thinks that climate change has close relations to humanactivities,and the fundamental measure to solve the problem is to reduce greenhousegas emissions.As the largest developing country and the second largest CO2emissionssource next to the US,Chinese CO2emissions reductions have been one of the hottestproblems discussed by domestic and foreign countries.Hunan is in industrialized middle initial phase at present, extensive pattern ofeconomic growth; rely mainly on the factors of production quantity expansion toachieve economic growth, the contribution of technology to economic growth is low.To some extent, Hunan rapid economic growth to great extent depends on theresources of high consumption and environmental pollution. Hunan heavy industry isnumerous, backward industrial structure not only wastes a great deal of resources, butbrought huge pollution. Therefore, the development of Hunan faces serious resources,environmental pressures. In order to realize the coordination of economy, society,environment and sustainable development of Hunan, in the background ofresource-saving and environment-friendly, utilizing the construction of the UrbanAgglomeration of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan City, advocating the energyconservation and emission reduction and developing low carbon economy will be theright choice. This paper will take Hunan province as an example, establish LMDImodel, analysis the three factors have infiuence on carbon emissions per capita ofHunan from the aspects of economic development,energy structure,energyefficiency,then draws some conclusions and puts forward corresponding measures.At first,the article analysis the circumstances of carbon emission of HunanProvince.The specific aspects:one is the single energy structure leads the carbonemission to increase;two is the result of economic development leads to the carbonemission mainly focus on industry industry and second industry, this also shows that economic development is the main driving factor of the increase of the per capitacarbon emissions.Secondly, LMDI model is introduced and clarified. The model isadopted to analyze the influence of energy structure, energy efficiency and economicdevelopment to per capita carbon emissions in China from1995to2010. Theconclusion is that economic development is the main driving factor.The role ofenergy structure factors on reducing per capita carbon emissions for Hunan provinceis increasingly higher, but the contribution is lower. The improvement of energyefficiency to the Hunan Province per capita carbon emissions has greater inhibitionand Contribution rate of an inverted “U” shape.At last, In view of three factorsmentioned in this article,corresponding measures are put forward.
