| 英文摘要 | To achieve carbon neutrality, most countries focus on reducing carbon footprint and its inequality based on not only production, but also consumption. We applied multi-source data and methods to measure inequality of consumption-based household carbon footprints (HCFs) between income groups and across consumption categories. Results showed that, per capita household carbon footprints (PHCFs) increased continuously in 2011-2017, from 1.75 t CO2 to 2.47 t CO2. The increment was larger and larger owing to the rapidly growing household consumption expenditure. Average PHCF of high-income households was 5.33 times greater than that of low-income households in 2017. The high-income households should be more responsible for reducing HCFs and implementing the shift to the low-carbon lifestyle. Inequality was significant with a Gini coefficient of 0.458 for total PHCFs. The contribution rate of between-group inequality to overall inequality was increasing, from 42.49% in 2011 to 60.39% in 2017. There was the polarization characteristic in the inequality of HCFs between income groups. Gini coefficients of PHCFs for some categories were much greater than that of total PHCFs. It is necessary to focus on these categories such as rent, car purchase, furniture and durable goods to reduce HCF inequality. This study revealed the key income groups and consumption categories contributing most to HCF and its inequality, which could provide the references for carrying on the studies and actions of reducing them in the developing countries. |
