Abstract

With the proposal of industry 4.0, all kinds of advanced technologies provide more ways of green economy for countries. This paper aims to design a green economy evaluation indicators framework and construct an integration method. Those can not only comprehensively evaluate the development level of the green economy of each region, but also reflect the evolution process of the regional green economy. We found China's RGED showed an "inverted U-shaped" trend from 2000 to 2015 and the RGED of China's 31 provinces has spatial heterogeneous effects and presents an “east-central-west” decreasing characteristic. This characteristic cannot be separated from the impact of regional resource features, scientific and technological level, local development policies, etc. Those findings can put forward suggestions for China's green economic development.
