Climate governance is an important issue common to the international community currently, and the international community has signed several agreements to combat greenhouse gases. China is the country has the largest CO2 emissions among the world and the government is current under tremendous pressure to reduce and mitigate carbon emissions. Emissions controlling of greenhouse gas will mitigate the global climate problem, it can also be an important prerequisite for economic and social development of China, and a guarantee for the sustainability of mankind. Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) is the heart of China's economy and an important area for reducing carbon emissions. Based on the actual development foundation and emission reduction space of Shanghai, this paper constructs a local emission reduction plan. By setting different growth rates for factors that affect carbon emissions, multiple scenarios under different growth rates are obtained, and carbon emissions in the next 40 years are modelled. The development scenarios suitable for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals economically and efficiently are analysed, which has certain reference timeline for Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) to achieve carbon neutrality.
