Abstract: Abstract Carbon emissions drive climate change. Especially with the rapid development of economy, carbon emissions are increasing in recent years, and the carbon emission data sets are more comprehensive. How to analyze the data is important. Furthermore, to find the main characteristics of carbon emission, we propose a new method of segmentation in the time series that adopts communities finding in complex network, graph convolution networks (GCN) and visibility graph (VG). Experiments on carbon emission datasets show that the detector has better detection performance than existing graph connectivity-based detectors. In addition, we find that combining the results of GCN segmentation can highlight economic geographic attributes such as resource endowment, industrial structure, and market demand in carbon emission regions, thus complementing the existing applications of complex network methods in the energy field and providing insights for decision support of carbon emissions.
