Abstract

The deepening conflict between human societal progress and efforts to combat climate change necessitates immediate coordination among the Economy-Energy-Carbon (EEC) management. The study applies IPCC accounting methods to compute the historical carbon emissions in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle from 2005 to 2021. It assesses the developmental efficiency of various subsystems in the EEC system by employing the rank-sum ratio. Taking a typical city in the region (Chongqing) as a case study, this study integrates System Dynamics (SD) with NSGAIII to develop an EEC multi-objective optimization model. It utilizes the VIKOR model to select the optimal solution. Based on this, the analysis explores the coupled and coordinated state of the EEC system from 2022 to 2030 under the optimal solution mode. Research findings indicate that: (1) The overall carbon emissions exhibit a slight increase, where carbon sources surpass the carbon sink created by land use. (2) Compared to results from other preference-based scenarios, in the scenario where subsystem efficiencies are all optimal, the minimum cumulative carbon emissions amount to 1520.52 million tons, with the economy maintaining a favorable status. Moreover, the overall coupling coordination of the EEC is in a relatively favorable state, and it tends to improve annually. (3) To attain the coordinated development of the EEC system by 2030, the energy structure of the representative city must decrease coal consumption by 26.17%, maintain the construction land ratio below 3.7%, and guarantee forest coverage exceeds 57.77%. This study, utilizing complex system simulations and optimization analyses across various scenarios, offers pertinent recommendations for attaining urban low-carbon development while upholding societal advancement.
