description The impact of some sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics of urban households in the city of Ibagué on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from electricity consumption and use of fossil fuels for transportation and food preparation was examined. A semi-structured survey was conducted in 1,816 households in the city of 170,170. GHG emissions in households in Ibagué are significantly related to socioeconomic status, household size, and household composition (p<0.01). The emissions per household in socioeconomic stratum 2 are the lowest, however for the year 2018 they contributed 41% of the emissions. Cities require behavior-based mitigation strategies and nature-based solutions to reduce CO2 emissions from electricity consumption and the use of fossil fuels.

Se examinó el impacto de algunas características sociodemográficas y socioeconómicas de los hogares urbanos de la ciudad de Ibagué, Colombia, en las emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero - GEI, provenientes del consumo de energía eléctrica y uso de combustibles fósiles para transporte y preparación de alimentos. Se aplicó una encuesta semiestructurada a 1816 hogares de los 170.170 existentes. Las emisiones de GEI en los hogares de Ibagué están relacionadas de forma significativa con el estrato socioeconómico, tamaño del hogar y composición del hogar (p<0,01). Las emisiones por hogar del estrato socioeconómico 2 son las más bajas, sin embargo en el año 2018 esos hogares aportaron el 41% de las emisiones. Las ciudades requieren de estrategias de mitigación basadas en el comportamiento y en soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para reducir las emisiones de CO2, provenientes del consumo de energía eléctrica y uso de combustibles fósiles.
