Study on the Impact of Green GDP Accounting System on Climate —— Based on Global Climate Mitigation Index Model

Abstract

GDP index can't measure the level of a country's sustainable economic development because it only pays attention to economic development but not to climate protection.Green GDP is the core index of the comprehensive environmental-economic accounting system, which incorporates resources and environmental factors into the current GDP to better reflect a country's real economic health. This paper develops a GGDP accounting model based on SEEA, which is closely related to GDP, and analyzes the relationship between green GDP accounting system and climate mitigation. In order to study the impact of GGDP on climate, this paper divides the global countries into four categories, selects 30 representative countries, establishes a global climate mitigation index model based on GCAM model and EWM, and calculates the impact of GGDP system on climate. The results show that the growth of GGDP has a positive impact on climate mitigation. This study puts forward a new accounting system of economic development level, which is of great significance to alleviate climate change.
