Data on research entitiled “Decoupling industrial development from carbon emissions in resource-based cities in China”.pdf

This study examines sustainable development in resource-based cities (RBCs) against global climate change and resource depletion. Targeting 90 RBCs in China, this research employed the Tapio decoupling index and the Log Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) to investigate the decoupling status, dynamic pathways, and influencing factors between industrial development and carbon emissions during the pursuit of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
