Abstract

ABSTRACT As a fast-growing economy with over 1.35 billion people, India will be critical to achieving future climate targets. The country implemented many policies to limit its carbon emissions. To make targeted policies, it is imperative to evaluate the mutually opposing effects of fast development and climate policies on carbon emissions. We apply environmentally extended input-output analysis, and structural path and decomposition analysis to calculate key emission statistics and drivers of change in critical sectors and production paths. Results reveal that India is a net exporter of emissions and its production and consumption-based emissions have more than doubled between 2000 and 2016. Two sectors, ‘Electricity, gas, and water’ and ‘petroleum, chemical, and non-metallic mineral products,’ function as supplying sectors in most of the critical paths. Although improvements in emission intensity and production structure have helped in reducing emissions, household consumption and investments have increased them.

印度碳排放的驱动因素和关键路径:结构路径分解分析

作为一个拥有13.5亿人口的快速增长经济体，印度对实现未来气候目标至关重要。这个国家实施了许多限制碳排放的政策。为了制定有针对性的政策，必须评估快速发展和气候政策对碳排放的相互对立的影响。我们应用环境扩展的投入产出分析、结构路径和分解分析来计算关键部门和生产路径的关键排放统计数据和变化驱动因素。结果显示，印度是排放净出口国，其生产和消费的排放量在2000年至2016年期间增加了一倍以上。“电力、天然气和水”和“石油、化工和非金属矿产品”这两个部门在大多数关键路径上起着供应部门的作用。虽然排放强度和生产结构的改善有助于减少排放，但家庭消费和投资却增加了排放。
