Abstract

Under China's "Double Carbon" target, analysis of the factors affecting carbon emissions to promote green emissions reduction is paramount. This paper uses theoretical analysis and statistical entropy weighting to screen variables based on panel data of 30 provincial-level regions (excluding Tibet) in China from 2000 to 2020, and constructs a STIRPAT model based on two-way fixed-effects regression and interaction effects for quantitative analysis. A comprehensive analysis, coupled with a fitting diagram, reveals a "Environmental Kuznets Curve" between GDP per capita and total carbon emissions and a negative correlation between industrial structure and total carbon emissions; however, a point cluster is present, suggesting an uneven development of regional industrial institutions. The highway accessibility intensity can be seen to facilitate the transformation and improvement of industrial structures, as well as to coordinate the growth of regional industries. In view of the above results, this paper gives feasible policies and suggestions.
