ESTIMATION OF HOUSEHOLD CARBON EMISSIONS IN CHINA BY USING MICRO LEVEL SURVEY DATA

摘要

The Paris Agreement sets landmark goals for combating climate change, with a view to keep the global average temperature rise “well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels”. The unequal distribution of household carbon footprints is one of the main debate issues related to the deep decarbonisation policies. As the largest population country and carbon dioxide (CO2) emitter in the world, China’s household carbon emissions are also growing quickly.
