A Study on Cross-Strait Carbon Emission Linkage Effect and Low-Carbon Cooperation Path
In recent years,both the Chinese mainland and Taiwan have played integral roles in the global industrial division of labor and cooperation,driving significant economic development.However,cross-Strait industrial collaboration remains predominantly focused on high-carbon sectors.Addressing this,the imperative to enhance the quality of cross-Strait economic cooperation towards a low-carbon trajectory has become urgent.This article employs global input-output and energy consumption data to quantitatively ana-lyze the carbon emission linkage effect between the two regions and identify key industries for collaborative carbon emission reduction.Findings reveal a higher multiplier effect of carbon emission in the Chinese mainland compared to Taiwan,with a pronounced spillover effect from Taiwan to the Chinese mainland.Notably,machinery,electrical and electronic equipment,and other manufacturing indus-tries emerge as pivotal sectors for cross-Strait collaborative carbon emission reduction efforts.However,current cross-Strait low-car-bon cooperation faces various challenges,including a weak foundational framework,sluggish progress in institutionalized collaboration,and escalating carbon emission issues in service sectors.To overcome these hurdles,concerted efforts are needed from both sides.Mechanisms,technologies,industries,and policies should all be leveraged as part of a comprehensive approach.It is imperative for the Chinese mainland and Taiwan to actively explore avenues for cross-Strait low-carbon cooperation.By joining forces,they can ef-fectively address the challenges associated with the low-carbon transformation of industrial collaboration.
