Abstract

In order to make a profound acquaintance of the regional differences and equality of carbon emissions, this article attempted to create Carbon Emission Ecological Pressure Model and Carbon Emission Economic Efficiency Model to calculate the economic and ecological Gini Coefficient of energy consumption carbon emissions from 1996 to 2008 based on the extension of Gini Coefficient original connotation. The results indicated that, from the ecological point of view, the level of inequality decreased gradually which remained at an extremely unequal state. However, from the economic point of view the degree of inequality increased in the earlier period and then declined and the degree remained at a relatively coordinate state. In addition, this article put forward Economy Contributive Coefficient and Ecological Support Coefficient to evaluate equality and reasonability of the carbon emissions in different provinces. Then this paper, through classifying the 30 different provincial regions (not including Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan due to no data) into four categories and analyzing the characteristics of different categories, expected to provide evidence to help the country establish the policy of carbon reduction, promote the capacity to confront with the climate change and pave the way to sustainable development. The category table showed that Guangxi and some other areas not only had relatively higher economic efficiency but also higher carbon ecological capacity; Shanghai and some developed areas had relatively higher economic efficiency but lower ecological carbon capacity while Yunnan and some areas were in the opposite side; Shanxi and some areas not only had relatively lower economic efficiency but also lower carbon ecological capacity.
