The “Peak-Carbon and Carbon Neutrality” targets proposed by China are formulated with a strategic consideration of coordinating both international and domestic contexts. Aligned with these goals, our study delves into Dongguan, a pivotal city in southern China, focusing on its challenges and opportunities in mitigating climate change and achieving carbon neutrality. Utilizing three periods of remote sensing image data (2002, 2012, and 2022) and applying the carbon emission coefficient method, the research specifically investigates the role of land-use types and transitions in influencing carbon emissions and emission intensity in Dongguan. Notably, the study identifies construction land-use as a significant contributor to carbon emissions, hindering the attainment of carbon neutrality and peak-carbon objectives. The findings prompt the proposal of targeted policies to address this issue and promote sustainable land-use practices, providing a more precise lens on the interplay between land use and carbon emissions in Dongguan.
