| Research Abstract |
The objective of this research is to examine the effect of migration on the CO_2 emission, and to be a basis for accounting the potentials of CO_2 mitigation strategies in the residential sector of the large cities in developing countries. The household survey was conducted in the 4 Asian Mega cities to estimate the energy consumption and CO_2 emissions. The research findings from Hanoi indicated that rural-urban migrants obviously increase their emissions after migrating to the cities, even though current CO_2 emission of them is much lower than that of urban-urban migrants and non-migrants. The phenomena were not observed in the case of urban-urban migrants.
