Abstract
This study investigates variations in carbon reduction willingness among households across different regions of China, exploring associations with household structure, economic status, and living conditions. A methodology was developed to calculate households' willingness to reduce carbon emissions. Efforts were made to assess carbon reduction willingness across various provinces and cities in areas such as transportation, food, products, energy usage, and awareness of carbon neutrality. The findings suggest that while Chinese households demonstrate a proactive willingness to reduce carbon emissions related to food and products, there is an evident need to enhance their willingness in the areas of transportation and energy usage. Furthermore, the research identifies household income, geographic location, residential area, and length of residence as significant determinants of household carbon reduction willingness.
