Community Carbon Reduction:Measurement Methods,Emission Characteristics,and Implementation Pathways
Achieving the goal of carbon neutrality requires active promotion of car-bon reduction actions.Cities,as primary contributors of carbon emissions,bear sig-nificant responsibility in carbon reduction.However,effectively effective urban car-bon reduction strategies remain unresolved.This paper introduces a carbon measure-ment model for urban communities based on human activities.It analyzes carbon emission characteristics across five communities in Shanghai,Shenzhen,Chongqing,and Quzhou based on the application of the measurement model.The study con-cludes that socioeconomic factors such as income,lifestyles,types of residence,and spatial factors such as land-use mix,building technology,and design,exert a signifi-cant impact on carbon emissions.Building on these insights,the paper proposes strat-egies to achieve carbon reduction goals,including improving the community microen-vironment,adopting green construction technologies,supporting green transportation,promoting low-carbon lifestyles,and strengthening policy support.
