Examining the nexus between carbon dioxide emissions, economic growth, fossil fuel energy use, urbanization and renewable energy towards achieving environmental sustainability in India

Abstract

Global urbanization has accelerated due to the persistent trend of rural-to-urban migration in search of better prospects and livelihoods, which has had serious negative effects on the environment, especially in rapidly developing economies. Hence, the purpose of the study is to analyse the relationship between urbanization, economic growth, consumption of renewable energy and carbon emissions with careful examination, particularly in the context of India, where urban population growth has skyrocketed.
