Feasibility analysis of achieving Chinese CO2 emission eduction targets using the equation of IPAT

In 2009 Chinese government committed to reduce 40-45% of CO₂ emissions per GDP unit in 2020 compared to 2005.This paper compares CO₂ emission intensity and constitution of China with other major countries, and combining with Chinese CO₂ emission situation in 1980“2008 vertically analyses emission changes and present situation of China. This paper focus on using the equation of IPAT, to determine the threshold of CO₂ emission increase, calculate GDP and CO₂ emissions and analyzes the feasibility of the commitment about Carbon reduction target of China.
