Abstract This study applies a CGE model for China’s energy and environmental policy analysis (CEEPA) to analyze how the carbon mitigation burdens should be shared among key emission sectors in China, as well as how these sectors would behave to meet their burdens. This study finds that in general, allocating mitigation burdens based on historical emission could realize the national target in a costeffective way. However, some adjustments should be made to coal and transportation sectors. The higher the national target, the burden shared by transportation sector should increase more while that shared by coal sector should increase less. The mitigation targets for all sectors, especially for coal sector, should not be set too high in the short term.
