Today, carbon emission pollution is particularly serious. Greenhouse gases are produced all the time in every part of people’s lives, which directly leads to catastrophic global warming. Controlling carbon emissions is related to the fate of the entire earth, and countries around the world need to study the most effective and lowest-cost emission reduction methods as soon as possible. In this regard, this article comprehensively reviews the factors affecting global carbon emissions and analyzes the rising trend of carbon emissions in recent years. The article focuses on the mechanisms of major sources of carbon emissions such as transportation, urbanization, and industrial production, and their impact on the environment. The study found that the combustion of fossil fuels produces a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions and forest reclamation is the main reason for the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations, which directly leads to climate change. In addition, the article also analyzes the potential impact of urbanization. This article emphasizes the importance of reducing carbon emissions through global cooperation, technological innovation, and policy intervention to promote sustainable development.
