Abstract

China needs to reach a peak of CO2 emissions around 2030 as the goal of “national autonomous contribution” submitted by its government at the Paris Climate Change Conference. Utilizing the quantile method to calculate the CO2 convergence in the eastern, central, and western regions in China between 1995 and 2014, we find that provinces in different regions in China have certain effects on CO2 emissions reduction and there exist a trend of CO2 convergence in the eastern and central regions. The convergence of provinces with a mature industrial structure is relatively stable, especially in areas where the proportion of public-owned economy is large, e.g., Jiangsu, Hunan, etc. The task of CO2 reduction in resource and energy province (i.e., Shanxi Province) is still challenging.
