Fig. 1: Proportions of CO2 emissions associated with population aging and urbanization in total CO2 emissions.
From: The impact of aging and urbanization on CO2 emission in Chinese cities: an empirical analysis
The impact of population aging is represented by the proportion of CO2 emissions related to it in the total CO2 emissions, shown as blue bars. Given the positive relationship between population aging and CO2 emissions, the related emissions are greater than zero. The impact of urbanization is represented by the proportion of CO2 emissions related to it in the total CO2 emissions, shown as red bars. Given the negative relationship between urbanization and CO2 emissions, the related emissions are less than zero.
