Exploring the Dependence and Influencing Factors of Carbon Emissions from the Perspective of Population Development

Working towards sustainable population development is an important part of carbon mitigation efforts, and decoupling carbon emissions from population development has great significance for carbon mitigation. Based on the construction of a comprehensive population development index (PDI), this study...
