“…By 2020, China had become the world's largest trader, as well as a major trading partner of more than 100 countries [3]. Its total foreign trade has accounted for more than 13% of total global trade, and its growth rate is much higher than that of total global trade [4][5][6]. The growth in foreign trade has played a huge role in stimulating China's economic development, but the extensive growth model of foreign trade has also caused a huge negative impact on the environment [7,8].…”

Since China’s reform and opening up, especially after its accession to the World Trade Organization, its foreign trade has achieved fruitful results. However, at the same time, the extensive foreign trade growth model with high energy consumption and high pollution has also caused a rapid increase in carbon emissions. There is a large amount of embodied carbon emissions in the export trade. In order to achieve the strategic goals of “Carbon Peak” and “Carbon Neutrality’, and at the same time build a green trading system to achieve coordinated development of trade and the environment, it is of great significance to study embodied carbon emissions and how to decouple them with China’s foreign trade. This paper uses the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index method to decompose the influencing factors of the embodied carbon in China’s export trade in order to study the impact of three factors: export scale, export structure, and carbon emission intensity. The results show that the change in export scale is the most important factor affecting the embodied carbon of China’s export trade, and the expansion of export scale has caused the growth of trade embodied carbon. Carbon emission intensity is the second influential factor, and the decline in carbon intensity would slow down the growth of trade embodied carbon, while changes in the export structure have the smallest impact on trade embodied carbon. The high carbonization of the overall export structure will cause growth of trade embodied carbon, but the tertiary industry has seen some improvement in the export structure, which could facilitate the decline of trade embodied carbon.

Global carbon emissions and climate change are of increasing concern. As a critical indicator of the carbon efficiency of economic activities, carbon productivity has improved, resulting in a relative reduction in carbon emissions and output growth. As an essential part of the national economy, foreign trade profoundly impacts carbon productivity by promoting technology exchange, industrial upgrading, and structural adjustment. The carbon emission impact of foreign trade is not uniform, and there are noticeable differences between countries and regions. This paper examines how foreign trade affects carbon productivity and through which mechanisms, and further analyzes regional and industrial differences in these effects to provide a basis for the formulation of relevant policies. According to the study, there is a significant time lag effect on foreign trade’s impact on carbon productivity, and there are differences between industries and regions. Promoting foreign trade in this paper results in technological progress and improved carbon productivity, with an average improvement of 5.2%. By optimizing and adjusting industrial structure, carbon productivity is promoted better, with an increase of around 4.3%. High carbon emission industries have a relatively weak positive effect. Foreign trade positively impacts carbon productivity by promoting technological progress and industrial restructuring, but it is necessary to have differentiated policies for different industries and regions.
