Under the background of "double carbon", green and low-carbon production and lifestyle become one of the important paths for carbon emission reduction in China, and indirect carbon emission from household consumption becomes a new growth point of carbon emission, so as to provide a reference basis for spatial correlation network research on the formation of regional synergistic emission reduction mechanism from the perspective of indirect carbon emission from household consumption. Taking 10 provinces in the western region as the study area, combining the input-output analysis method and the consumer lifestyle method to measure the indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in the western region from 2012 to 2021 and analyze its dynamic evolution, constructing the spatial correlation matrix of carbon emissions, and using the social network analysis method to explore the overall, individual and spatial clustering structural characteristics of the spatial correlation network of the indirect carbon emissions from household consumption.(1)The overall rising trend of indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in western China is slowing down, there is a big gap between urban and rural carbon emissions, and the consumption carbon emissions from housing and transportation and communication account for a large and increasing proportion of the total carbon emissions.(2)The overall indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in the west show obvious spatial correlation network structure characteristics and cyclical fluctuation trends, the network structure is relatively loose, the network hierarchical differences are more obvious, Gansu, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and other provinces are in a dominant position in the spatial correlation network of indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in the west, not only is there a close spatial correlation with the other provinces, but also plays the role of an "intermediary". They are not only closely related to other provinces, but also play the role of "intermediary". (3)Conduction and spillover effects between plates in the spatial association network of indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in the west are the main modes of action, with fewer spillover effects within plates. Gansu, Shaanxi and other transportation hubs are the main beneficiaries of the factors, and the provinces with higher economic development levels are the main spillovers of the factors.he closeness of the spatial correlation of indirect carbon emissions from household consumption in the west needs to be improved urgently, and there are differences in indirect carbon emissions from household consumption among provinces in the western region, so it is necessary to form a mechanism for synergistic emission reduction among regions, and the inter-plate linkage effect and trans-regional network effect should be further improved, so as to promote the synergistic development of indirect carbon emission reduction from household consumption in the western region. |
