The Study About The Relationship Between Carbon Dioxide Emissions And Economic Growth Of Zhejiang Province

Zhejiang Province is in the process of industrialization, urbanization and modernization stageof rapid development, large-scale infrastructure construction need a large number of energy andrapid growth is hard to change, lean coal, less gas, lack of oil resource endowment, combined withthe coal-dominated energy consumption structure, make Zhejiang Province under environmentalpressures, special city after Copenhagen, the Chinese government raised the2050target of a50%reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, and Zhejiang feels the urgency of reducing emissions more.Based on this, this paper studies economic growth and environmental relations between the mostrepresentative of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis to analyze the relationship betweenthe economic growth of Zhejiang Province with carbon dioxide emissions, in order to provideenergy saving policy recommendations for Zhejiang Province. First, paper analyzes the status ofZhejiang’s economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions, the use of LMDI decompositionanalysis of the factors affecting the carbon dioxide emissions of Zhejiang Province, the rapidgrowth of the economies of scale is the main reason to led to increasing carbon dioxide emissions,another population factors also have a positive effect on carbon emissions. The industrial structurein different years has different effects, both positive and negative. The technology has negativeeffects. Empirical analysis of the interaction between the Zhejiang Province’s economic growth andcarbon dioxide emissions and then use the research methods of the environmental Kuznets curve,and finally concluded: showing the inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth andcarbon emissions of Zhejiang Province, inflection point at the per capita income of66,070yuan,and is estimated to reach around2013. In this paper, based on the few policy recommendations,Zhejiang Province, the development of low-carbon economy: in pursuit of GDP growth at thesame time concerned about the carbon dioxide emissions linked with the environment, in theassessment of the government officials in GDP; soon as possible to achieve the economic growthmode change, optimize the industrial structure; improve the international level of scientific andtechnological innovation, the use of advanced technology for energy conservation; to nurturecorporate, personal autonomy saving mechanism, go low-carbon urbanization road.
