Inter-regional Transfer of China's Embodied Carbon from Production-and Consumption-based Perspectives
Based on the multi-regional input-output model and the latest China's multi-regional input-output table in 2017,the embodied carbon from production-based and consumption-based perspectives in China's differ-ent regions was calculated,and the inter-regional transfer characteristics were investigated from the perspective of the"direct emitter-final producer-final consumer".The results show that the distribution of carbon emissions in dif-ferent regions has obvious heterogeneity under different accounting perspectives of production-based embodied car-bon and consumption-based embodied carbon.The production-based embodied carbon is mainly transferred from the western and northern regions to the eastern and southern coastal regions.As for consumption-based embodied carbon,it is mainly transferred to economically developed or populous regions and exported abroad.Most regions act as transfer stations,obtaining production-based embodied carbon from other regions,embedding it into final consumer goods and transferring it to other regions.
