“…For CO 2 emissions, the current research mainly focuses on the discussion of its influencing factors [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. On this basis, different types of research such as efficiency analysis and decoupling analysis are derived [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In addition to the analysis of influencing factors, another popular research idea is to predict the path of CO 2 emissions.…”

Mitigating climate change requires long-term global efforts. The aim of this study is to simulate the possible paths of CO2 emissions in G20 countries and the world from 2020 to 2050, by using the STIRPAT model and SSP scenarios with different constraints (SSP baseline, SSP-3.4). The results show that: (1) the world’s CO2 emissions cannot peak in the SSP baseline scenarios, but can peak in the SSP-3.4 scenarios through four paths other than the high fossil energy consumption path; (2) for G20 countries, in the SSP baseline scenarios, 13 countries such as China, the United States, and the United Kingdom can achieve the peak, while six countries such as Argentina, India, and Saudi Arabia cannot. In the SSP-3.4 scenarios, Saudi Arabia cannot achieve the peak, while other countries can achieve the peak, and most of them are likely to achieve significant CO2 emission reductions by 2050; (3) climate goals have a crowding-out effect on other sustainable development goals, with less impact on developed countries and a greater impact on developing countries; and (4) the optimization of the energy structure and a low energy intensity can greatly advance the peak time of CO2 emissions.

“…Among them, the industrial sector played a leading role [ 27 ]. The industrial and transportation sectors have significant impacts on carbon emissions reduction [ 28 ], and their contributions to energy conservation and emission reduction have great potentials. Specifically, due to the implementation of national energy conservation and emission reduction policies, the industrial and transportation sectors have gradually improved to weak decoupling with low output value and high capacity in Beijing after 2008 [ 29 ].…”

This paper constructs a decoupling model for four major economic regions of China, based on the Tapio decoupling index method and VAR model for carbon emissions to compare and measure the impact of decoupling between carbon emissions and economic growth in China during 1997 to 2019. The results show that the degree of decoupling between economic growth and carbon emissions varies among different economic regions, and the decoupling status is better in all regions at the beginning of the 21st century. In general, the decoupling status in the eastern and western regions is more ideal than that in the central and northeastern regions. The impulse response and variance decomposition results show that renewable energy consumption could always reduce the growth of carbon emission intensity, and its effects are most significant in the western region. The above findings help to reveal the link between economic growth, renewable energy consumption and carbon emissions in China in recent years, and how to ensure a stable economic growth in China while increasing the share of clean energy consumption in each region to achieve carbon neutrality.

“…As China's economic growth is transforming from an extensive mode to a sustainable and green development one, it is necessary to decouple economic growth from resource utilization so that ecological degradation can be mitigated. Most studies focused on singleresource decoupling, such as via water [26][27][28][29], energy [30,31], carbon emissions [32][33][34], and food [35][36][37]. A few studies have attempted to explore the decoupling states between economic growth and multiple resource utilization.…”

Decoupling Economic Growth from Embodied Water–Energy–Food Consumption Based on a Modified MRIO Model: A Case Study of the Yangtze River Delta Region in China

Water, energy, and food are indispensable resources for socioeconomic development, and are highly interwoven in urban activities. Clarifying spatial differences in resource consumption is of great significance for coordinated management. However, there is still a lack of a unified assessment for water–energy–food (WEF) nexus flow analysis. This study proposes a comprehensive framework to investigate WEF utilization based on a modified multi-regional input–output (MRIO) analysis. Taking the case of the Yangtze River Delta region, we first inventoried embodied water–energy–food consumption from 2012 to 2017. Then, decoupling analysis and the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method were applied to explore decoupling states and identify driving factors. The results show that overall embodied WEF consumption experienced a downward trend from 2012 to 2017, and different provinces varied significantly. Jiangsu had the largest consumption of water and energy, while Anhui contributed a big chunk to food consumption. The manufacturing sector heavily relied on WEF resources and had a great impact on the ecological environment. The decoupling performance indicated a general trend of weak decoupling and strong decoupling in most provinces, with the mining, electricity, and gas supply sectors contributing most to positive decoupling, and the service sectors devoting the most to negative decoupling. As for resource type, water ecological footprint decoupled more than energy and food ecological footprints. Technology level and industrial structure had a major effect on the realization of decoupling, while economic output and population scale were the main restraining factors. Finally, we provide some differentiated policy recommendations for coordinated resource management.
