The impact of income on household CO_2 emissions in China based on a large sample survey

Since reform and opening-up, China's energy consumption has been soaring largely due to the country's rapid economic development and urbanization [1]. As a result, C02 emissions from the household sector have been rapidly increasing [2]. China—now the second largest global economy and the largest C02 emitter [3]—has been making efforts to aggressively reduce C02 emissions and protect the environment. In line with the Paris Climate Change Agreement, China submitted its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and pledged to achieve peak C02 emissions by 2030.
