DRIVERS FOR REDUCING POLLUTION & CARBON IN YANGTZE RIVER DELTA BASED ON DUAL-NESTED LMDI
Synergy of pollution & carbon reduction is a key path to China's green low carbon quality development.It is still unclear that how their synergy and harness between air pollutants represented by SO2 & CO2 and green house gas reduction drivers is.This paper,based on 34 prefectures'2006 to 2020 data in Yangtze River delta,uses LMDI model to decompose SO2 & CO2 emission drivers with the results nested with pollution & carbon-reduction synergy model,and measures their contribution and synergy of pollution & carbon-reduction drivers in energy,economy and environment.Effects of energy structural intensity,economic development and population size play a synergy on SO2 & CO2 reduction in Yangtze River delta,of which only energy structural intensity is positive,other drivers are negative or of no synergy.To advance China's green low carbon quality growth,this paper presents suggestion on fulfilling drivers of synergy in pollution & carbon-reduction along with the potentials of non-synergy factors.
