Abstract:With economic development and urbanization, carbon emissions from residential life have increased significantly. This paper analyzes the impact of population, economy and energy on residential carbon emissions in China from the perspective of direct and indirect emission sources, and simulates the residential carbon emissions under three different policy scenarios from 2010 to 2030. In the future, the carbon emissions of residential life will maintain an upward trend, direct carbon emissions will show an upward and then downward trend, indirect carbon emissions will maintain a rapid climbing trend, the carbon emissions intensity of residential life will continue to decline, and measures such as low-carbon construction in accordance with local conditions will become an important guarantee for emission reduction.
