Abstract

Summary

The research on the assessment of the impact of urbanization on carbon emission (CE) is crucial for the development of low-carbon cities. Particularly, cities in developing countries are experiencing severe challenges due to higher CE due to rapid urbanization. This study aims to understand the impact of urbanization on CE in the Kolkata megacity region in India from 2000 to 2020. This study used a land-use CE (LCE) framework to estimate the CE. The findings were also validated from the data extracted from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL). The CE from 2000 to 2020 increased in the Kolkata megacity region (increased by 188%). Urbanization had a positive impact on CE (r= 0.465). The LCE model was validated (r2= 0.842) based on the built-up surface area (construction land). The higher performance of the model indicated that urbanization had a significant impact on CE.
