The rural–urban disparity in carbon emissions is a significant aspect of global environmental challenges. This disparity stems from differences in lifestyle, economic activities, energy consumption patterns, and access to technologies between rural and urban areas. Understanding these differences is crucial for developing targeted strategies for emission reduction. Urban areas typically exhibit higher per capita energy consumption compared to rural areas. This is due to the concentration of industrial activities, higher standards of living, and greater access to energy-intensive services and amenities in cities. Urban households often use more electricity for lighting, heating, cooling, and appliances. In contrast, rural areas generally rely more on traditional biomass and less efficient energy sources for cooking and heating. This results in lower overall energy consumption but higher emissions of pollutants and less efficient energy use.
