Tapio carbon emission decoupling relationship index.

TypeIndexΔEΔItImplication

DecouplingStrong decoupling<0>0<0CO2 emissions reduced and income increased
Recession decoupling<0<0>1.2The reduction rate of CO2 emissions is faster than the reduction rate of income
Weak decoupling>0>00 < t < 0.8The increase in CO2 emissions is slower than the increase in income

ConnectionCritical growth>0>00.8 < t < 1.2CO2 emissions are growing at the same rate as income
Critical decline<0<00.8 < t < 1.2CO2 emissions are declining at the same rate as income

Negative decouplingWeak negative decoupling<0<00 < t < 0.8The reduction rate of CO2 emissions is slower than the reduction rate of income
Expansive decoupling>0>0>1.2The increase in CO2 emissions is faster than the increase in income
Strong negative decoupling>0<0<0CO2 emissions increased and income reduced
