Abstract:Under the background of China’s commitment to carbon emissions reduction targets at the Copenhagen Conference in 2020,based on STIRPAT model, the values of 2020 carbon intensity was forecasted in 32 kinds of carbon reduction programs. The results showed that industrial structure adjustment is key factor to achieve carbon reduction targets. Under the optimization of industrial structure policy, carbon intensity targets would be achieved in more than half of the schemes. Finally, the control indexes in the four schemes were chosen as the references of 13th SFive Year Plan .Average annual population growth rate could be from 0.4% to 0.72 %.Urbanization rate could be up to 60%.GDP growth could be controlled between 6% and 8%. The proportion of service industry could be increased to 50%. Energy consumption per unit of GDP could be reduced by 11.71%.Based on the factors of the population, urbanization rate, GDP growth, energy consumption per unit of GDP and the added value of service industry, China"s 30 provinces of carbon reduction paths were discussed under the national carbon reduction plan strategy. It provided a reference and scientific support for making reduction programs of 13th Five Year Plan.
