The geography of urban greenhouse gas emissions in Asia: A regional analysis

► Asian urban GHG emissions account for between 30 and 38% of total emissions. ► Urban population size, density and income positively correlate with GHGs emissions. ► Urban income however, is non-linearly (squared and cubic) related to urban GHG emissions. ► Growth rate is inversely related to urban GHG emissions. ► While findings confirm other studies, given data uncertainties, more analysis is necessary.
