Impact of livelihood capital on low-carbon transformation of rural household energy consumption
In order to realize the low-carbon transformation of rural household energy and implement the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutralization,an in-depth analysis has been made of the impacts of livelihood capital on the low-carbon transformation of rural household energy consumption based on the special field survey data of Shaanxi and Henan in 2018 and 2021.Firstly,the index system of livelihood capital is constructed,and the Ologit model is used to analyze the impact of livelihood capital on the low-carbon transformation of household energy consumption and to test its robustness.Secondly,the livelihood strategy and low-carbon cognition variables are introduced to explore their roles in the impact of livelihood capital on the low-carbon transformation of household energy consumption.The results show that:The human capital,physical capital,financial capital and social capital significantly promote the low-carbon transformation of rural household energy consumption,while natural capital has a prounouced and negative impact on the low-carbon transformation of household energy consumption.Livelihood strategy plays a mediating role in the impact of human capital,natural capital and financial capital on the low-carbon transformation.The impacts of human capital,financial capital and social capital on the low-carbon transformation of household energy consumption are moderated by farmers'low-carbon cognition.Therefore,consistent with the common development of farmers'livelihood and low-carbon transformation of energy consumption,the farmers'awarance of green low carbon,and con-cept of ecological civilization must be established and the low-carbon energy technologies be developed farther to guarantee low-carbon transformation of rural energy.
