“…Other decomposition analyses for CO2 emissions have been conducted e.g. by Sun (2004), Kawase et al (2006) andEEA (2006). Raupach et al (2007) studied the trends and drivers of CO2 emissions at the global and regional scale, decomposing emissions to population, affluence, energy intensity of gross domestic product and carbon intensity of energy.…”

The sustainability challenge of meeting carbon dioxide targets in Europe by 2020

Following the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union obligated itself to lower its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 20% below their 1990 level, by the year 2020. Carbon dioxide is the major GHG. To fulfill this obligation, the nations must meet the sustainability challenge of countering rising population plus affluence with the dematerialization of less energy per GDP plus the decarbonization of less carbon per energy. To test the feasibility of meeting the challenge, we analyzed carbon dioxide emission during 1993-2004. Although emissions in the entire Union grew only by an average of 0.31% per year, emissions and their drivers varied markedly among the 27 member states. Dematerialization and decarbonization did occur, but not enough to offset the slight population growth plus rapidly increasing affluence. To fulfill its obligation in the next 12 years, the EU27 would have to counter its increasing population and affluence by a combined dematerialization and decarbonization 1.9-2.6 times faster than during 1993-2004. Hence, fulfilling its obligation by addressing fossil carbon emissions alone is very unlikely.

“…On the other hand, the United States generates around 20% of global CO 2 emissions while the population is only 5% of the total world population. China produces 22% of world polluting emissions but it accounts for 20% of the population of the world (Kawase et al, 2006 We deem imperative that a global response to face climate change is needed at the European level. The EU energy portfolio relies strongly on fossil fuels, and it has important consequences both in terms of "importing" CO 2 emissions and for energy security reasons.…”

“…Reference [8] identified related factors which impact the changes in emissions of pollutants through long-term climate stabilization scenarios for research: the carbon intensity, energy efficiency and economic activities. They pointed that we need to speed up intensity in improving comprehensive energy and decline rate should increased 2-3 times based on the past 40 years in order to achieve 60-80% reduction of carbon emission reduction targets.…”

The purpose of the research is that China develops low-carbon economy and strengthens low-carbon economy research by learning other countries experiences, which literatures in the papers introduced. The principal results of the paper is that the paper done up right literatures review of carbon finance and low carbon economy. The major contribution is that the paper finds that China is facing the challenges of the global carbon finance problem and the lack of its pricing power. The conclusions is that we need to increase our academic research on carbon finance to solve China's lagging in carbon finance construction and knows how to construct development system.
