Evaluation System of Low-carbonization of Industrial Structure in China

Low-carbonization has become a vital goal of the economic development of many countries. As the by-product of economic development, carbon emission is highly correlated to industrial structure, which deeply influences the consumption structure, environment protection, and energy structure.Viewed from the history of developed countries, the fundamental way to develop a low-carbon economy is low-carbonization of industrial structure.This paper conducts a system with five different dimensions that includes economic, industrial structure, environment, energy, and social indicators to evaluate the low-carbonization of industrial structure. Furthermore, the paper does an empirical analysis on the industrial structure’s low-carbonization of China and five of its provinces
