Abstract :
The paper explores the major factors that affect CO2 emissions by the analysis for time-series of China since Chinese innovation and opening. The analysis concludes that there is no inverse-U curve between economic development and CO2 emissions. The increase of GDP per capita and population is the main sources for carbon emission increase, and the decrease of energy intensity of unit GDP and ratio of coal to total primary energy consumption is the important approach to reduce CO2 emissions. That the Kyoto Protocol takes effect will provide more international cooperation chances for China.
