Abstract
In order to accelerate the construction of a resource-saving and environmentally-friendly industrial ecosystem, this paper uses the Tapio decoupling analysis model to calculate the decoupling index of Tianjin’s industrial economic growth and the major environmental pollutants of the industry from 2005 to 2015 and analyze the decoupling status. The results show that the decoupling state of Tianjin’s economic growth and environmental pollution from 2005 to 2015 is generally in a strong positive decoupling and a weak growth decoupling, but the decoupling state of some environmental pollution factors has temporarily deteriorated. The relationship between industrial economic growth and industrial pollutant emissions has eased in the 12th Five-Year Plan.
Highlights
The concept of green development regards environmental protection as the prerequisite and endogenous driving force for economic and social development
The indicators that support economic growth and affect environmental pollution are selected from industrial energy consumption, and the environmental pollution factors are selected from industrial wastewater discharge, industrial chemical oxygen demand (COD) discharge, industrial waste gas discharge, industrial sulfur dioxide discharge, and industrial solid waste production
Calculate the decoupling indices of economic growth relative to industrial wastewater discharge, industrial chemical oxygen demand discharge, industrial waste gas discharge, industrial sulfur dioxide discharge, and industrial solid waste production according to the formula
Summary
The concept of green development regards environmental protection as the prerequisite and endogenous driving force for economic and social development. It emphasizes that the economy and the environment are mutually coordinated and maintained in harmony as a whole. While improving the ability of human sustainable development, it meets the growing environmental needs. At this stage, the contradiction between economic construction and the ecological environment is becoming increasingly prominent. The use of decoupling tools to study the relationship among regional economic growth and pollution emissions, energy consumption, and land expansion has been carried out[2,3,4,5,6]. It is hoped that these measures can provide reference for the green development of Tianjin's industry
