Abstract

In order to study the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth of provinces (regions) in the Yellow River Basin, an elastic decoupling model was constructed to reflect the temporal evolution characteristics of the relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth of provinces (regions) in the Yellow River Basin. Through to the provinces (regions) of carbon emissions and economic growth of elastic decoupling state analysis and comparison, decouple the long-term trend judgment between the two, for the Yellow River basin and the high quality low carbon transformation development decision-making to provide the reference, and for how to in as little as possible on the basis of energy consumption and carbon emissions, realize the Yellow River basin make low carbon and high quality development of the planning and guidance. The analysis results show that the GDP of the Yellow River Basin increases year by year, but the carbon emissions increase and decrease year by year, and the decoupling state of carbon emissions and economic growth of the Yellow River Basin also changes constantly. Overall, the decoupling state gradually changed from negative to strong, and the decoupling trend was generally good.
