Abstract Based on the perspective of consumer responsibility, this paper discusses the consumption of the Environmental Kuznets Curve, and compared with the production of Environmental Kuznets Curve. Through theoretical analysis and empirical verification, we found the transfer of pollution is an important cause of the consumption of Environmental Kuznets Curve different from Kuznets Curve of the production; The shape of Environmental Kuznets Curve changes with the pollutant; Impact of the consumption structure of the environmental Kuznets curve is larger; In the area of high level of consumption, consumption structure promote the pollution emissions.
