Optimizing Land Use Structure for Low Carbon Target: A Case Study in Zhangye of Gansu Province

Abstract:

Regional land use is an important source of carbon emissions .To some extent , the optimization land use will change the pattern and structure of human energy consumption .In this paper, we try to put forward a new approach to optimize the land use structure of the low carbon target in Zhangye .Three schemes for land use low-carbon optimization were proposed and analyzed, and the policy suggestions were put forward finally . Compare with the original plan, Optimization program in the year of 2020, the amount of carbon accumulation increase 124.1648 million tons, and carbon emissions reduce 1,152,100 tons. This indicates that the scheme for land use planning to achieve carbon reduction and carbon accumulation has important guiding significance.
