Abstract:
      In order to predict and analyze the impacts of trade friction between China and the United States on China's wheat trade exports and their embodied carbon emissions. Using the dynamic global trade environment model, this paper, based on the scenario of shared social development path(SSP2), presented the embodied carbon emission changes of wheat in 2020-2030. It is found that the GDP of Hebei, Anhui, Shandong, Henan and other major grain provinces decreased by 0.338‱, 1.427‱, 0.103‱ and 2.074‱ respectively in 2030, among which the decrease of export led to the reduction of 65.36、69.53、109.86 and 152.97 tons of embodied carbon emissions of wheat export. The improvement of wheat production technology can effectively alleviate the negative impacts of trade friction on China. The conclusion is that China should further develop the modern agricultural science and technology to cope with the changes of international trade environment and its embodied carbon emission issues.
