Abstract

As the global temperature continues to rise, people have become increasingly concerned about global climate change. In order to help China to effectively develop a carbon peak target completion plan, this paper proposes a carbon emission prediction model based on the improved whale algorithm-optimized gradient boosting decision tree, which combines four optimization methods and significantly improves the prediction accuracy. This paper uses historical data to verify the superiority of the gradient boosting tree prediction model optimized by the improved whale algorithm. In addition, this study also predicted the carbon emission values of China from 2020 to 2035 and compared them with the target values, concluding that China can accomplish the relevant target values, which suggests that this research has practical implications for China’s future carbon emission reduction policies.
