ABSTRACT
The study uses STIRPAT model incorporating ridge regression to analysis the impact of various factors on carbon dioxide emission,especially the factor of urbanization.The results show that population and industial structure have the most important impact on carbon emissions and urbanization increases carbon enissons directly in Tianjin city.According the analysis,the study offers some suggestion to control and reduce the carbon emission in Tianjian.and provides policy reference for the development of low carbon economy in Tianjin.
