Abstract

This paper analyzed the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth in Jiangsu, China over 2000–2010, using the indicator of decoupling elasticity. Two weak decoupling periods, 2001–2002 and 2006–2009, were detected. The increases of carbon emissions were further decomposed with Logarithmic Mean Weight Divisia (LMDI) method and it was showed that the overall economic activity played the most important role in leading to the increase of carbon emissions, the adjustment of industry structure had positive but very small effect on carbon emissions, and the decline of sectoral carbon intensity was the only factor that drove the emissions to decrease.
