Abstract:

Based on forest carbon sink,the environmental safety threshold model of tourism carbon emission was constructed to evaluate the environmental risk of tourism carbon emission. The results showed that :1) in the past 15 years,the tourism carbon emission in Jiangsu Province presented an overall growth state,which was characterized by four stages of smooth growth-steady growth-rapid growth-substantial growth. The tourism carbon emission increased from 13.633 million tons to 129.365 million tons,a total increase of 8.49 times. The differences of tourism carbon emission among 13 cities in the province gradually narrowed. Nanjing,Suzhou and Wuxi maintained high carbon emission,while Suqian,Yancheng and Huai 'an saw rapid growth in tourism carbon emission intensity.2) The environmental safety threshold of tourism carbon emission in Jiangsu Province varied from 1.579 million tons to 11.460 million tons in the past 15 years. The environmental safety threshold based on forest carbon sink kept improving,with an average value of 0.659 million tons. The environmental safety threshold of tourism carbon emission in municipality level varied from 1.605 million tons to 11.833 million tons. Suzhou,Nanjing and Wuxi had the highest environmental safety threshold,while Suqian had the lowest. 3) In the past 15 years,the environmental risk of tourism carbon emission in Jiangsu Province has entered the extremely serious risk state,experiencing a trend of decline,wandering,accelerating rise,steady and continuous rise,presenting a "spoon" type. The difference of environmental risk among 13 cities in Jiangsu Province continued to narrow,and the number of environmental risk areas increased from 3 to 10. The evolution and current situation of environmental risk of tourism carbon emission in Jiangsu Province is worrying.
