The three datasets provided here identify the city location of all CDM projects in China by referencing the individual Project Description Documents (via the UNFCCC) attached to each project. Through this method, all 3,764 Clean Development Mechanism projects at the city-level in China are identified out of a total of over 8,000 globally.
Time series dataset of adoption by year of climate action plans by 177 U.S. cities, 2010-2019, with links to plans included. This dataset is intended for use by researchers and practitioners investigating both individual climate action plans and time series patterns of adoption at the municipal level.
Data were gathered to test three hypotheses on the impact economic growth has on environmental conditions in urban areas. The three hypotheses are: 1. Income will be associated with reductions in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2. 2. Public Administration GVA will be associated with reductions in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2. 3. Urban density will be associated with reductions in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2.
