ABSTRACT

Based on the research background of the "dual carbon" goals, this study explores the carbon emission levels of provinces across the country. This article uses principal component analysis and factor analysis to study the carbon emission levels of 30 provinces in China from 2016 to 2020. The research results indicate that: (1) The level of economic development is the main factor affecting the carbon emission levels of 30 provinces in China based on factor analysis. (2) Overall, carbon emissions in the eastern and central regions have increased, while carbon emissions in the northwest and northeast regions have decreased. Therefore, the following measures should be taken: strengthen regional communication and optimize resource allocation.
