The Characteristics of Carbon Footprint of Export Wooden Forestry Products of China

Carbon emissions transfer embodied within international trade has been one of the hot fields in global greenhouse gas control.The carbon footprint characteristics of wooden forestry products exported from China is analyzed in terms of export quantity,total carbon footprint and carbon footprint strength by using life cycle analysis.The results show that intermediate processing wood products and deeply processed wood products are main export products,which include wood furniture,plywood,paper and board,paper products,fiber board,wood products and printings.Total carbon footprint and carbon footprint strength of intermediate processing wood products and deeply processed wood products are more than primary processing wood products in China's export.Carbon tariffs and carbon label may become green trade barriers hindering China's wooden forestry product export in a period of time,and deep processing products which include wood furniture,wood products and paper products will have the most significant influence.
