Impact of demography and emission trading scheme on heat-related mortality in China

Introduction Both demography and emission trading scheme impact heat-related mortality (HRM), but the interactive impacts of demography and ETS on HRM are usually neglected in the literature. In this paper, we attempt to narrow the research gap by studying the collective impacts of the demographic factors and the ETS implemented in China during 2025–2060. Method To achieve this research target, a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model was employed to simulate the operation of the Chinese eco
