Factors driving the carbon emission reduction in transport along the Silk Road Economic Belt:An analysis from the perspective of"double carbon"
To achieve the"dual carbon"goal,new requirement of low-carbon transformation for transport industry is put forward.Combining LMDI factor decomposition method with Tapio decoupling model,we analyze the impacts of transport carbon density,transport intensity,energy intensity,industry scale,economic growth and population on transport carbon emissions and their contribution to decoupling in the Silk Road Economic Belt from 2003 to 2021.The results indicate that transport intensity,economic growth and population promoted the growth of transport carbon emissions in the Silk Road Economic Belt,while transport carbon density,energy intensity and industry scale inhibited the growth of transport carbon emissions in the Silk Road Economic Belt.Among them,economic growth effect is the leading factor to promote the growth of transport carbon emissions,and its decoupling index has the largest contribution value,which is the main factor hindering the decoupling of transport carbon emissions.Transport carbon density effect is the main factor to curb the growth of transport carbon emissions,making a major contribution to promoting the decoupling of transport carbon emissions in the Silk Road Economic Belt.
