Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 1997 to 2015, this paper uses Dagum Gini coefficient and decomposition method to study the regional differences and sources of China’s construction industry CO 2 emissions, meanwhile uses Kernel density estimation method to analyze the dynamic evolution of its distribution in four regions. Research results show that: The regional difference of China’s construction industry CO 2 emissions shows a trend of first rising and then declining, and the main source of regional differences is inter-regional differences. The absolute differences of China’s construction industry CO 2 emissions are narrowing, and the weak polarization and gradient effect of the distribution of CO 2 emissions gradually disappear. These results have important implications for the coordinated low-carbon development of China’s construction industry.
