Abstract

Cities play an important role in global greenhouse gas management. To identify and develop effective mitigation strategies for urban carbon emission management and energy system transitions, a bottom-up energy-emission-health model framework was developed. Using ten typical cities in China as cases, this study grouped the cities based on their development characteristics and then explored the potential carbon peaking paths and related health co-benefits for cities in different industrialization stages.
