Abstract: China has entered a new phase of economic development in which large-scale, rapid and multidimensional changes in economic structure are happening. We constructed the time-series of CO2 emission inventories for China and its provinces. Environmentally extended input-output analysis and structural decomposition analysis were applied to investigate the driving forces behind changes in emissions. China’s annual emissions growth has declined greatly since 2012, and the gains in energy efficiency were the most important factor to offset emission growth. The relative decoupling of economic growth from carbon emissions is technology driven rather than pure outsourcing. The emissions embodied in China’s exports peaked, mainly due to the changes in production and export structure.
