Over the years, urban centres have been blamed for negatively impacting on the environment, without taking into account the various activities in both urban and rural areas, which will help to objectively draw a conclusion on per capita GHG emission and overall impact on the environment. This paper fills this gap by looking into per capital GHG emission, as well as consequent environmental impacts by looking into rural and urban activities and how an individual through these activities impact on the environment. It goes further to link population dynamics between the rural and urban areas by considering the usual migration pattern as urban population swells as movement is directed from the rural area. To this end per capita contribution to GHG through livelihood activities is considered in line with migration patterns. The paper concludes that percapita GHG emission and environmental impacts increase along rural-urban population nexus.Keywords: Population nexus, per capita GHG, Human impact, Livelihood. |
