Abstract

Based on relevant data in Jiangsu from 1995 to 2014, this article uses the measurement model to analyze the influence on carbon emissions of the industrial structure evolution. The research shows that the structure of the industrial carbon emission in Jiangsu province presents" two-three-one" mode. The secondary industry is the chief component of carbon emissions. The second industry as the leading industrial structure has an obvious driving effect on carbon emissions, but its carbon emission intensity is decreasing and its proportion of GDP is positive relevant with per capita carbon emission. The relationship between per capita GDP and per capita carbon emission presents the inverted N-shape. With the Per capita GDP increasing, the personal average carbon emission at the beginning increases at an increasing rate and then at the decreasing rate. Owing to the proportion of secondary industry decreasing and proportion of tertiary industry increasing, the momentum of rapid growth of carbon emissions has been suppressed.
