Abstract

This paper focuses on the five provinces in Northwest China and employs the entropy-based weighting technique to quantify digitalization and decarbonization indicators spanning the years 2011 through 2023. By establishing a coupling coordination model, the study identifies trends in the interplay between them and categorizes the stages of synergistic integration. The study found that the low-carbon and digital economy indices in the five northwestern provinces rose overall. Significant development disparities existed among the five provinces, with regional gaps initially widening before narrowing. Qinghai and Xinjiang led in low-carbon development, while Gansu lagged behind; Shaanxi and Gansu led in the digital economy, with Ningxia and Qinghai catching up. The synergistic integration of green and digital sectors across the five northwestern provinces improved substantially, with Xinjiang showing the largest increase in 2023. The timing of achieving coupling coordination varied across the five provinces Qinghai the latest among them. This paper aims to offer recommendations to promote he coordinated progress of digitalization and decarbonization across the five northwestern provinces.
