Abstract

At present, China is in a critical period of transformation from high-speed development to high-quality development.Energy conservation and emission reduction conform to the concept of high-quality development in China. The upgrading of industrial structure and technological progress are important factors affecting carbon emission intensity. Based on the provincial panel data from 2010 to 2019, this paper explores the relationship between industrial structure upgrading, technological progress and regional carbon emission intensity from both theoretical and empirical aspects by building a mediation effect model. The results show that the upgrading of industrial structure has a significant inhibitory effect on carbon emission intensity; Technological progress has a significant inhibitory effect on carbon emission intensity; Technological progress plays a part of intermediary effect between industrial structure upgrading and carbon emission intensity.Finally, it puts forward policy suggestions such as reasonably promoting industrial structure adjustment, promoting industrial structure optimization, establishing an effective mechanism to promote technological progress, and tackling environmental pollution from the source.
