Economic modeling of national energy, water and air pollution nexus in China under changing climate conditions

Both energy production and consumption could simultaneously bring about local water scarcity and regional air emissions. Identifying energy-water-air pollution interactions caused by final demand of energy is essential for gaining potential synergies and avoiding unintended economic losses when designing sustainable energy development pathways. Given that, an energy-water-air pollution nexus (EWAN) model is developed to examine the …
