Sumario: | In the context of global climate governance, the study of land-use carbon emissions in the Yellow River Basin is crucial to China’s “dual-carbon” goal in addition to ecological conservation and the high-quality developments. This paper computed the land-use carbon emissions of 95 cities in the Yellow River Basin from 2000 to 2020 and examined its characteristics with respect to spatio-temporal evolution and driving mechanisms. The findings are as follows: (1) The overall net land-use carbon emissions in the Yellow River Basin rose sharply from 2000 to 2020. (2) From a spatial perspective, the Yellow River Basin’s land-use carbon emissions are high in the middle-east and low in the northwest, which is directly tied to the urban development model and function orientation. (3) A strong spatial link exists in the land-use carbon emissions in the Yellow River Basin. The degree of spatial agglomeration among the comparable cities first rose and then fell. “Low–Low” was largely constant and concentrated in the upper reaches, whereas “High–High” was concentrated in the middle and lower reaches with an east-ward migratory trend. (4) The rates of economic development and technological advancement have a major positive driving effect. Moreover, the other components’ driving effects fluctuate with time, and significant geographical variance exists. Thus, this study not only provides a rationale for reducing carbon emissions in the Yellow River Basin but also serves as a guide for other Chinese cities with comparable climates in improving their climate governance. |
