Abstract Based on extended input-output tables of 30 provinces,we estimated the embodied carbon emissions in inter-provincial trade. It is found that:(1) in the domestic trade,carbon emissions transferred from energy rich regions to east coastal regions; (2) for international trade,the import and export of carbon emissions is mainly concentrated in coastal regions. Based on the principle of “consumer responsibility”,when distributing the regional responsibility for emissions reductions,China should appropriately increase the responsibility on consumer of energy-intensive products,while cut the responsibility on producer relatively. For achieving the overall national emission reduction targets,it is very important to incentive eastern coastal provinces to support the energy rich provinces with financial,technical and personnel means.
