Energy-related carbon emissions in districts and counties of Guangdong province from 2005 to 2016 are researched based on spatial econometrics method in this article, and significance cluster area and heterogeneity area are precise pinpointed. Conclusions are as follows: (1) total carbon emissions and per capita carbon emissions exist significance global spatial autocorrelation in the year 2005-2016, and formed significance high-high cluster area in districts and counties of Guangzhou city, Shenzhen city and Dongguan city. It also formed three significance low-low cluster areas in districts and counties of eastern, western and northern of Guangdong province. Low-high heterogeneity area and high -low heterogeneity area often appears in the scope of high-high cluster area and low-low cluster area. (2)Carbon emission intensity not exist significance global spatial autocorrelation, but exist significance cluster area and heterogeneity area in the ecological development areas of eastern, western and northern of Guangdong province. In the end, the paper puts forward the regional and detailed policy recommendations for efficient carbon emission reduction for each cluster type region: carbon high-high cluster areas are priority reduce emissions area, heighten energy saving technology and optimize industrial structure are two grippers to reduce emissions. Low - low carbon emissions concentrated area in western of Guangdong should primarily develop high and new technology industry. Low low carbon emissions concentrated areas and high - high carbon emissions intensity concentrated area for eastern and northern of Guangdong province should try hard to wins ecological compensation at the same time focus on developing ecological tourism.
