Comprehensive Evaluation and Analysis of Carbon Emissions from Land Use in 14 Cities in Xinjiang from 2005 to 2020
This study selected the data of land use and energy consumption in 6 periods from 2005 to 2020,constructed a carbon emission comprehensive evaluation index system from the aspects of carbon emission economic efficiency,energy consumption structure and carbon emission carrying capacity,and comprehensively evaluated the carbon emissions in 14 cities in Xinjiang by improved Topsis method.The results showed that from 2005 to 2020,the total carbon emissions in Xinjiang increased from 27.35 million tons to 184.99 million tons,with varying degrees of decline or deterioration in carbon emission economic efficiency,energy consump-tion structure and carbon emission carrying capacity.During the study period,9 out of the 14 cities in Xinjiang showed a downward trend in the comprehensive evaluation value of carbon emissions,the number of ci-ties with low carbon emission efficiency,coordinated and unbalanced energy structure did not change significant-ly,while the number of cities with carbon emission pressure increased.Carbon emission reduction manage-ment should be carried out from the aspects of optimizing land use structure,improving carbon emission economic efficiency and transforming energy structure.
