Synergy Effects and Driving Factors of Pollution and Carbon Emissions Reduction in Beijing
This article analyzed the trends of air pollutants and CO2 emissions in Beijing from 2010 to 2020,evaluated the synergistic effects of pollution and carbon emissions reduction with synergistic effect coefficients,and explored the driving factors affecting air pollutants emissions and CO2 emissions by using the LMDI model.The results showed that the main air pollutants and CO2 emissions in Beijing both decreased,but showed different phased characteristics.The implemented emis-sion reduction measures basically had synergistic effect,and the emission reduction effect on air pollutants was generally higher than that of CO2,and the synergistic effect of the"Twelfth Five-Year Plan"period was generally better than that of the"Thirteenth Five-Year Plan"period.Population size and economic development had positive driving effects on air pollut-ants and CO2 emissions,while the reduction of energy intensity and optimization of energy structure had a significant nega-tive driving effect on emissions,and the comprehensive driving effect of synergistic emission reduction of the two in the"Twelfth Five-Year Plan"period were higher than that of the"Thirteenth Five-Year Plan"period.Finally,suggestions were put forward for synergistic efficiency of pollution and carbon emissions reduction in Beijing from the perspectives of reduc-ing energy intensity,optimizing energy structure,and developing and applying pollution and carbon reduction technologies.
