Abstract

In order to study the carbon emissions of countries along the Belt and Road and its influencing factors, this paper calculates the energy carbon emissions of six major regions from 2013 to 2020 from the national level based on the LMDI index decomposition method and divides the driving factors into population, economy, industrial structure, energy intensity and carbon emission intensity, analyzing the contribution rate of each factor and regional differences. The results show that the carbon emissions of countries along the Belt and Road have shown an overall upward trend at present. The main influencing factors are economy and industrial structure, as well as reducing energy consumption intensity has also contributed more to the suppression of carbon emissions. Population and carbon emission intensity vary slightly by region. Therefore, governments should guide reasonable population growth, formulate reasonable carbon emission reduction policies according to local conditions, optimize the energy structure and accelerate the establishment of carbon markets.
