The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the ‘Third Pole,’ plays a key role in the global climate system. This study analyzes the characteristics and drivers of CO2 emissions in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, based on land use and energy consumption data from 2000, 2010, and 2020. Emissions and their spatial – temporal dynamics were assessed using a land use transfer matrix, emission coefficients, the carbon footprint model, and the Geodetector method. Results show marked land use changes from 2000 to 2020: cultivated land, forest land, and construction land increased by 12.24%, 2.19%, and 251.63%, respectively, while grassland declined by 7.88%. CO2 emissions rose sharply from 155.61 to 448.36 million tonnes. Land use transitions indicate weak coordination between natural and socio-economic systems. Emission growth was driven mainly by primary industry expansion from 2000 to 2010, and by urbanization from 2010 to 2020.
