The results are the following: 1) released important information and events will seriously affect the carbon price fluctuations; some important information are released that cause sharp fluctuations in a short period of time; the Sudden events lead to long-term, drastic fluctuations in carbon price and its influence over the impact of important information; 2) the impact of external events is always corresponding to the low-frequency component of time sequence; this is because the low-frequency component usually reflects the data signal amplitude which is severer, and the high-frequency component represents the data signal amplitude which is a smaller part; it has
