循环经济是实现环境健康和资源高效利用的有效战略。在这项研究中，中国和尼日利亚之间的贸易关系被用来建立循环经济如何改善气候变化。在CO2排放量的基础上，获得了1991年至2014年的数据，并使用Fisher理想指数分解得出了采矿和采掘相关部门能源强度的能源效率指标。本研究利用面板校正标准误、可行广义最小二乘、自回归分布滞后界和贝叶斯VAR模型。这些技术表明，在这两个国家，采矿和采掘相关部门的能源效率以及循环经济并没有转化为二氧化碳减排。然而，经济增长、能源使用（不可再生能源）和清洁能源替代（可再生能源）是减少二氧化碳排放的基本因素。因此，改善能源消费和经济增长对减少CO2排放具有不可或缺的作用。
Circular economy is one effective strategy to achieve a healthy environment and efficient use of resources. In this study, the trade relationship between China and Nigeria is used to establish how circular economy ameliorates climate change. On the basis of CO2 emissions, data from 1991 to 2014 are obtained and measures for energy efficiency in the mining and extractive-related sectors from energy intensity are derived using Fisher ideal index decomposition. This study utilizes panel-corrected standard error, feasible generalized least squares, autoregressive distribute lag bound, and Bayesian VAR models. These techniques suggest that energy efficiency in the mining and extractive-related sector and the circular economy have not translated into CO2 emission reduction in both countries. However, economic growth, energy use (non-renewable energy), and clean energy substitution (renewable energy) are essential factors in mitigating CO2 emissions. Given such evidence, resource melioration for energy consumption and economic growth have indispensable roles in reducing CO2 emissions.
