ABSTRACT

In the face of the major challenges of global warming and international extreme climate disasters, the "low-carbon" issue has attracted extensive attention from all countries in the world. China has also put forward the strategic goal of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality. College students are one of the main groups in China's current consumption market, and the survey of the current situation of low-carbon consumption among university students can help to grasp the current awareness and acceptance of low-carbon consumption among college students and promote low-carbon development. This paper takes college students as the research object and analyzes the current situation and influencing factors of low-carbon consumption of college students by means of questionnaire survey and multiple regression analysis, and finds that the low-carbon consumption behavior of college students needs to be improved. Factors such as product credibility, social atmosphere and government policies have significant influence on college students' low-carbon consumption behavior, and countermeasures to guide college students' low-carbon consumption are put forward for these factors.
