Using the reference method recommended by 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories this paper estimates and analyzes the consumption of fossil energy,biomass utilization,and special industrial production of various types of carbon footprint and carbon sequestration capacity of vegetation in Sichuan province from 2000 to 2011.And the carbon deficit and carbon stress index are used to assess and predict carbon security situation in Sichuan province.The results show that:the carbon security grade of Sichuan Province was "very unsafe" in 2000,since 2001 it has been in a state of "terribly unsafe",and the carbon safety degree is decreasing.In order to prevent the downward trend,Sichuan Province should try the best to take strong measures to reduce the carbon footprint and increase carbon sequestration capacity,to achieve low-carbon development.
