China’s CO2 emissions have sharply increased in recent years with soaring economic development and urbanization. Consumption-based accounting of CO2 emissions could provide new insights for allocating regional mitigation responsibility and curbing the emissions. A multi-regional input–output model is used to study the trends and disparities of consumption-based emissions from Chinese provinces ...

Nowadays, the temperature in urban is higher than the surrounding natural terrain, as the result of vegetation cover declining and impervious surface increasing, coupled with the influence of anthropogenic heat discharge. In recent years, it is possible to study the urban heat island and its formation mechanism, ...
