The Carbon Emissions Rights Optimization under Regional Economic Growth Disparities

Abstract

Greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gas emissions is one of most important environmental problems; the growth of carbon emissions has attracted more and more attention. However, a phenomenon is that economic growth is always together with increasing of carbon emissions. In order to control carbon emissions validly in the premise of economic growth and taking into account that there are regional economic growth disparities for most countries, this paper builds a carbon emissions rights optimization model under regional economic growth disparities. This paper proposes two strategies to evaluate economic growth and carbon emissions: one is the same to all regions, and the other one is different. After calculating, finding that the same regulation of emissions reduction for all regions is better for economic growth and different regulation of emissions reduction is better for balanced development of regional economy. It provides certain rating criteria to find equilibrium point of economic development and carbon emissions.
