Research on Driving Factors of Low-Carbon Development in Fujian Province

Abstract

Based on the data related to carbon emissions in Fujian Province from 2000 to 2021, factor analysis and regression analysis were used to explore the key factors affecting low carbon development in Fujian Province. The results show that carbon emissions in Fujian Province are closely related to a variety of factors, including the consumption level of residents, international trade, urbanization, population size, fixed asset investment, energy intensity and economic development level, which have a relatively large impact on carbon emissions in Fujian Province, while the energy structure and industrial structure have a relatively small impact. Through the empirical analysis, we propose corresponding solutions to the current problems in order to promote the low-carbon development of Fujian Province.
