Abstract

Cloud computing is a supercomputing that integrates large-scale and scalable computing, storage, data, applications, and other distributed computing resources for collaborative work in the form of virtualization technology as the basis and the network as the carrier to provide infrastructure, platform, software, and other service’s model. Green GDP (GGDP) is an assessment indicator for regional sustainable development. Hence, the evaluation index on GGDP and greening of the national economic accounting system (SNA) are the hotspots of current ecological and economic studies. In the recent years, Zhejiang’s economy has achieved rapid development, and there are also problems of high input and high consumption of natural resources, thereby restricting its sustainable development. Based on the statistical data of Zhejiang Province during 2000–2017, the GGDP within the sustainable development context is calculated using the system of integrated environmental and economic accounting (SEEA). The results indicated the following: (1) The GGDP accounted for 79.29%–96.78% of Zhejiang's GDP during the study period, which showed volatility upward trend, resulting from the significant environmental protection and conservation of natural resources in the study area. But economic development was heavily dependent on resources, and the local government still strengthened the work of improving resources and environment. (2) The proportion of secondary industry in Zhejiang Province fluctuated downwards during the period of 2000–2017, and the tertiary industry showed a volatility upward trend, which exceeded the proportion of the secondary industry, indicating that Zhejiang Province is from an industry-led economy to a service-oriented economy change. (3) The GGDP of Zhejiang Province accounted for the highest proportion of GDP in 2008, resulting from the result of a combination of relevant national policies and international competitions.

Highlights

  • Gross domestic product (GDP) is an important index and expounds sustainable development within economic, social, and environmental contexts

  • Based on the data of Zhejiang Province from 2000 to 2017, this study calculates the green GDP (GGDP) in the past 18 years by constructing a GGDP accounting system and draws the following conclusions: (1) During the period of 2000–2017, the GGDP and GDP of Zhejiang Province maintained a simultaneous growth. e GGDP accounted for 79.29%–96.78% of GDP which showed a volatility upward trend, resulting from the significant environmental protection and conservation of natural resources in the study area

  • The depletion of natural resources still occupied a dominant position in GGDP

Summary

Introduction

Gross domestic product (GDP) is an important index and expounds sustainable development within economic, social, and environmental contexts. GGDP refers to the remaining gross domestic product after deducting the depletion value of ecological resources, such as resource consumption and environmental pollution from traditional GDP [4], which is a compelling method to combine various types of environmental impact with growth within economic context. GGDP can be used to reflect economic growth, to account for the natural resources and environmental conditions, and to allow comparison across countries [5]. GGDP is a compelling approach for combining various types of environmental impact with growth from the economic perspective, and it Scientific Programming is an indicator of economic growth with the environmental impacts on that growth factored into the traditional GDP
