Abstract
With the intensifying global response to climate change and China’s dual carbon goals—carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060—urban carbon emissions and their systemic inertia have become central concerns in environmental governance. This study, grounded in Institutional Transition Theory and behavioral response models, aimed to explore the impact of carbon lock-in index, environmental awareness, publicity and education, and demographic characteristics on enterprise acceptance of low-carbon transition. A structured questionnaire survey was distributed to Beijing residents using a stratified random sampling method, resulting in 385 valid responses. The study employed a quantitative research design with SPSS for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression to test the hypotheses. Results showed that carbon lock-in system significantly negatively influenced acceptance of low-carbon transition, while environmental awareness, publicity and education positively influenced acceptance. Demographic factors including income and education level also showed notable effects. The findings provide insights and recommendations for urban carbon governance, including constructing a carbon lock-in index system to identify bottlenecks and promote sustainable development in Chinese cities.
