The reduction of carbon emissions has emerged as a critical issue that requires urgent attention in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions as environmental concerns continue to grow. This paper examined how to achieve carbon emission reduction through industrial restructuring. The influence rela-tionship between industrial restructuring and carbon emissions was investigated using the Kaya constant equation LMDI decomposition method, while the coefficient of variation (CV) method was utilized to explore practical ways of promoting carbon emission reduction through industrial re-structuring. Data on carbon emissions and the economy from 12 core cities and 24 industries in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions from 2010 to 2020 were analyzed. The key findings of this study in-dicate that economic growth remains the primary driver of local carbon emission growth, while industrial restructuring and carbon emission intensity changes exhibit both positive and negative effects on carbon emission growth. The inhibitory effect of industrial structure upgrading on carbon emission growth can be weakened by regional industrial isomorphism. Furthermore, regional dis-parities in carbon emission intensity exist among some industries in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and industrial restructuring based on carbon productivity variations has greater potential for emission reduction. The cities in these regions can encourage the development of industries with superior carbon productivity while regulating the growth of industries with inferior carbon productivity, allowing the optimal allocation of carbon emission credits from industries with lower productivity to those with higher efficiency, resulting in carbon emission reduction.
