Abstract
- This study employs logical, scientific understanding and prediction of a Sensitivity Model which is an integer tool in the assessment of climate change for China. It simulated a smooth environmental sustainable transition for the next ten years, given the 11 simulated variables. The positive coefficient for GDP growth variable suggests that estimated emissions initially rise with GDP growth, and eventually fall; the impact of population on emissions has been more pronounced in lower rather than in higher income ranges, contradicting Environmental Kuznet Curve. The role of energy efficiency on emissions has been the greatest when CO2 emission is at its peak. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
