A Composite Indicator for Evaluating the Low-Carbon Performance of Cities in Jiangsu Province

Abstract:

This paper developed a composite indicator for evaluating the performance of low-carbon economy for the cities in Jiangsu province, China. The empirical results show that the performance of low carbon economy of cities in Jiangsu province may be divided into three levels. The first level include Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Nanjing, that the performance is below the province average level; the second level including Huaian, Suqian, Lianyungang, and Nantong which, that the performance is similar with the province average level; the rest of the cities in Jiangsu are set as third level. At same time, this paper analyze some cities’ performance of low carbon economy.
