Abstract: This research calculated the amount of carbon emission and carbon emission intensity of Shanghai's textile and apparel industry from 2001 to 2014. Logarithmic mean Divisia index method was applied to identify the factors that affect the carbon emission and decoupling model was used to prove the relationship between economic output and carbon emission. The results showed that the total amount of carbon emission of Shanghai's textile and apparel industry decreased with fluctuation from 2001 to 2014. Among the three sub-industries, textile industry made the greatest contribution to the total carbon emission, and the carbon emission intensity of textile industry also was the largest. Industrial technology was the major driving factor of the mitigation of carbon emission of Shanghai's textile and apparel industry while industrial scale was the major inhibiting factor. Economic output and carbon emission of Shanghai's textile and apparel industry showed a coupling relationship in most years of the selected research time series.
