Regional Sustainable Development and Spatial Effects From the Perspective of Renewable Energy

Green development is crucial for promoting high-quality and sustainable economic and social development. In China, green development is key to achieving the national goals of building a beautiful China and rejuvenating the nation. In this study, we employed a slacks-based measure data envelopment analysis method to calculate the green development efficiency value of panel data from Anhui Province, China, from 2005 to 2020. Moreover, the Malmquist Index was used to dynamically analyze the green total-factor productivity and decomposition index of 16 cities in Anhui Province. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to measure the spatial relationship of the green development efficiency value for each province in Anhui Province. Then, we established the spatial lag model according to the spatial correlation and perform a comprehensive analysis of the impact and spillover effects. The results show that: The overall green development efficiency of all urban areas in Anhui Province showed a fluctuating trend, but most cities exhibiting medium of higher green development efficiency.Various cities exhibited spatial aggregation, with high, high, and low values of green development efficiency.The industrial structure, digital economy development, and the urbanization level showed relatively significant positive correlations with the regional economic development level, whereas the energy structure and level of opening up showed a significant negative correlation.The influence of environment management and scientific and technological development was not significant.the industrial structure, and the urbanization rate showed positive effects on local green development but negative spillover effects on surrounding areas, whereas the energy structure, relative economic development, and level of opening up produced positive spillover effects.

A Review on the Overall Optimization of Production–Living–Ecological Space: Theoretical Basis and Conceptual Framework

The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the optimization of territorial space development patterns as the primary measure of ecological civilization construction, and put forward the goal of “promoting intensive and efficient production space, livable and moderate living space, and beautiful (picturesque scenery) ecological space”. Through literature research and summing induction, this paper combs the research progress of the overall optimization of “Production–Living–Ecological” space (PLES) systematically. It is found that the existing work mainly focuses on the overall optimization of PLES from the perspectives of land-use quality, land-use suitability evaluation, resource and environmental carrying capacity, and comparative advantages. However, due to the lack of understanding of the scientific connotation of PLES, and the imperfect construction of quantitative identification methods and classification system, there are many problems in the technical approaches of the overall optimization of PLES, which remain to be clarified. In the future, the technological approach to the overall optimization of PLES should be guided by the vision of building a beautiful China, with the theory of a human–Earth coupling system as the core, and systematically build a theoretical system and technical framework to identify and optimize territorial space.

Spatial-temporal differentiation and influencing mechanism of green development efficiency in three major urban agglomerations in Zhejiang Province, China.

Improving the green development efficiency of the three major urban agglomerations in Zhejiang is an important way to faster build the pilot demonstration area of beautiful China. Based on county panel data from 2000 to 2019 of 41 counties (cities) included in the three major urban agglomerations, we combined the super-efficiency SBM model with window analysis to evaluate the efficiency, and used spatial econometric analysis method to study the spatial distribution and the differences in regional difference. Furthermore, the fixed panel fixed effect model was used to explore the differential influencing mechanism. The results showed that green development efficiency of the three major urban agglomerations increased gradually with fluctuations during the study period. The distribution of efficiency values gradually shifted from a situation of 'high in the north and low in the south' to a 'relatively common and coordinated' development in the various regions. There was a significant spatial agglomeration effect in green development efficiency of the three major urban agglomerations, but it presented fluctuating phenomenon among cities which were at the similar level. The average green development efficiency of central Zhejiang urban agglomeration was the highest. The development within the three major urban agglomerations was relatively stable. The annulus Hangzhou Bay urban agglomeration came next, with stable development. The Wenzhou-Taizhou coastal urban agglomeration was the lowest, but the efficiency enhancement was the largest. The increases in population density, along with the proportion of added value of tertiary industry in GDP, per capita industrial added value, local fiscal expenditures, education expenditures and per capita actual use of foreign capital could improve the efficiency of green development. However, the increases in industrial electricity consumption and fixed asset investment in kennels would inhibit the improvement of green development efficiency. The impacts of per capita industrial added value, local fiscal expenditure, education expenditure and per capita actual use of foreign capital on urban agglomerations were heterogeneous among different cities.

The Development Process, Current Situation and Prospects of the Conversion of Farmland to Forests and Grasses Project in China

The Conversion of Farmland to Forests and Grasses Project is the most symbolic and globally important ecological engineering effort to build the human and natural life community. After the call and mobilization stage since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first round of Conversion of Farmland to Forests and Grasses occurred at the end of the 20th century. With the second round of Conversion of Farmland to Forests And Grasses launched in 2014, the central government has invested 535.3 billion yuan altogether by 2020, and 34.83 million ha have been returned to forest and grassland in 25 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) (2435 counties included). Among them, 14.23 million ha were returned from farmland; barren hills and wasteland afforestation accounted for 17.53 million ha; and sealed mountain forest cultivation represented 3.07 million ha, accounting for 40% of the total afforestation area of national key projects in the same period, and 41 million households and 158 million farmers benefited directly. The project construction has made great achievements. The total value of ecological benefits has reached 1.42 trillion yuan, plus economic benefits of 0.26 trillion yuan, and social benefits of 0.73 trillion yuan, for a total amount of 2.41 trillion yuan. This effort has made outstanding contributions toward building an ecological civilization and a beautiful China. Looking forward to the future, the Conversion of Farmland to Forests and Grasses will embark on a new stage of high-quality development, which will strive to achieve high-quality construction, high efficiency and a high level of management. China will promote the third round of conversion of farmland to forest and grassland from 2021 to 2035, and it is expected to return 6.67 million ha to forests and grasses.

Landsenses Ecology effectively connects mutual service and feedback between human beings and their surroundings. Prof. Zhao Jingzhu defined landsenses ecology as a scientific discipline that studies land-use planning, construction, and management toward sustainable development, based on ecological principles and the analysis framework of natural elements, physical senses, psychological perceptions, socio-economic perspectives, process-risk, and associated aspects. Based on the ecology theory, the practice of landsense creation and environmental Internet of Things (IoT) technique, this paper tries to improve the landsenses ecology system by further clarifying the theoretical basis, basic concepts, research objects, research contents, basic methodology and applications of it. This paper proposes key indicators such as sensory diversity, combination degree, interaction degree, susceptibility degree, stimulus frequency, aftertaste degree, sense of surprise, sense of distance, degree of overlap and coverage, etc., which enrich the dimensions of ecological appreciation, experience and evaluation methods of landsenses. We summarize that the landsense creation (or mode of creative senses) augments the service paradigms of landsense carriers and ecological infrastructure in human vision, smell, hearing, taste, light sense, touch, psychological perception and behavioral experience, aiming at promoting the idea that a harmonious relationship between human and nature is emphasized with ecological civilization construction, improving the quality of ecological environment, and realizing a "Beautiful China" and Sustainable Development Goals. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

Recommendations of Controlling and Preventing Acute Health Risks of Fine Particulate Matter Pollution - China, 2021.

The task force has comprehensively reviewed efforts for air pollution prevention and control, the acute health effects of fine particles (PM2.5), and the health benefits of air pollution prevention and control in China. It has been found that the overall prevention and control of ambient PM2.5 pollution in China has made remarkable progress in recent years. However, it still remains at a relatively high level. Short-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 significantly increases the mortality and morbidity risk of Chinese residents, resulting in changes to levels of relevant biological markers. Prolonged PM2.5 heavily polluted weather greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Among chemical composition of PM2.5, carbon-containing components, some inorganic salts, and heavy metals are linked with the health impacts. The health risks of PM2.5 pollution are higher for children, the elderly, and patients with cardiovascular or respiratory diseases than for the general population because the former groups are vulnerable subpopulations. The implementation of air pollution prevention and control policies has significantly improved human health. The implementation of personal protective equipment can significantly reduce the health damage caused by short-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 pollution. Based on scientific evidence of PM2.5 pollution and acute health risks in China, the following three recommendations are proposed. 1) The policy recommendations for the prevention and control of ambient PM2.5 pollution include the following: to continuously strengthen the widespread use and efficient development of clean energy; to further promote industrial upgrading; to focus on the control of transportation pollution; to keep improving the modernization system of air pollution control; to formulate and refine relevant standards for air quality gradually; and to estimate the effects and health benefits after the implementation of clean air actions, and relevant policies. 2) Prevention of ambient PM2.5 pollution and protection of public health recommendations include the following: to strengthen the release of air pollution monitoring and relevant information; to strengthen awareness of air pollution hazards; to clarify the guidance and recommendations for protecting population health from air pollution; and to strengthen the health protection of population vulnerable to ambient air pollution. 3) Recommendations for research on health risks of air pollution include the following: to strengthen research on air pollutant monitoring technology and monitoring system based on the promotion of accurate exposure assessment; to systematically carry out full-spectrum identification and correlation studies of air pollutants and health effects; to conduct studies on key toxic components and early biomarker inventory of air pollution health effects; to discover the toxicity mechanisms of the key toxic components of air pollutants; to carry out research on population health risk assessment and early warning of combined exposure to air pollutants; and to execute comprehensive studies on the health and economic benefits of pollution and carbon reduction under the national strategies of carbon neutrality and beautiful China.

Decarbonization in Сhina: energy transition and financing challenges

In the second decade of 21st century China has evolved as the world largest producer, consumer and importer of fossil fuels, including crude oil, natural gas and coal. The other side is the country’s leadership in emission of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2. The problem, already addressed during five-year plans in 2006-2015, got special attention in the thirteenth five-year plan under the concept of ‘beautiful China”, which contains ambitious goals in ecological reconstruction of China. The central problem among these goals is decarbonization and phasing down coal as the backbone of China’s energy system. The existing plans and models are viewed by the authors together with the short history of energy sector, rapid progress in building a sound renewables segment, which is also number one in the world. Special attention in the article is given tothe complexity of China's energy transition, the authors analyze the current state of the PRC's energy industry and provide possible scenarios for energy transition and emerging green finance in China. The methods and instruments of the state policy in the field are presented, including trade in emissions of CO2 which has a huge growth potential. Energy transit in China doesn’t look as a close perspective due to complex domestic issues and international environment where the interests of developed and developing countries collide. At home there is a problem of financial efficiency of renewables, at the world scene China at present can hardly trust western partners in rebuilding the energy sector, which has a strategic significance.

In the past several decades, the contradiction between ecology, economy, and society caused by human behavior has aroused widespread concern. Therefore, exploring the evolution characteristics of ecological-economic-social (EES) system coupling and coordination degree in the national key ecological function areas is of great significance for achieving sustainable development goals and building a beautiful China. In this paper, we use the coupling coordination model, scissors difference model, coupling degree model, and vector autoregressive model (VAR model) to explore and analyze the dynamic evolution of the coupling coordination degree of the EES system in the Altay region from 2007 to 2019. The results show that:(1) from 2007 to 2019, the overall coupling coordination degree of the Altay region in Xinjiang showed a rising trend, which was evolving from a moderate imbalance (0.271) in 2007 to a mild imbalance (0.371) in 2019. The development level of the ecological system and the development level of the economic system and the social system presented a trend of "X". Specifically, the development level of the economic system and the social system continued to rise, while the ecological system decreased slightly. (2) The scissors difference in the evolution rate of "the economic system and the social system" as well as "the ecological system and the social system" fluctuated significantly after 2014, while the scissors difference in the evolution rate of "the ecological system and the economic system" tended to be stable. The coupling degree of "the ecological system and the economic system" and "the economic system and the social system" showed an initial transition from disorder to order. (3) According to the analysis results of impulse response function and variance decomposition, the improvement of the coupling coordination degree of the EES system in the Altay region was the result of the interaction of the three systems. To be specific, in the early stage, it was mainly driven by the social system and the economic system, while in the late stage, it mainly depended on the improvement of the ecological system to promote the coupling coordination degree of the EES system. The research showed that the national key ecological function areas should focus on reducing the stress intensity of the economic system on the social system and the ecological system in the future, so as to achieve the coordinated development of the three systems. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

How Environmental Knowledge and Green Values Affect the Relationship between Green Human Resource Management and Employees’ Green Behavior: From the Perspective of Emission Reduction

Green human resource management (GHRM) determines the green behavior practice of employees and affects the social environment and the realization of “Beautiful China” and “Green Development”. In this study, to explore the impact mechanism of GHRM on employees’ green behavior, employees at all levels in an enterprise were selected to be research subjects and a regulated intermediary model was established, based on social exchange theory and the individual-environment matching theory. This paper investigated the enterprise’s GHRM, personal green behavior, relational psychological contract, environmental knowledge and green values. The results show that GHRM has a significant positive predictive effect on employees’ green behavior, the relational psychological contract plays an intermediary role between GHRM and employees’ green behavior and the intermediary role of the relational psychological contract is regulated by environmental knowledge and green values. These research results explain the relationship between GHRM and employees’ green behavior and provide an important basis for enterprises to implement GHRM practice and promote employees’ green behavior.

Study on the integrated protection strategy of water environment protection: The case of Hainan Province of China

In order to promote the construction of a beautiful China, 14th five year plan is started. The basic conditions of water ecological environment in Hainan Province are good, but in recent years, the function of water ecosystem is degraded and the improvement of water environment quality is limited. China has integrated the “three water” of water environment to set the water resources and water ecology into the goal index and task engineering setting of the special plan for water ecological environment protection. But the China’s water ecological environment protection strategy needs to comprehensively consider the connection between space development and protection, industrial green development, ecosystem protection and restoration and traditional water pollution control. So, integrated protection strategy is carried out in this process. Scientific and feasible integrated protection strategies promote the construction of beautiful rivers in Hainan Island, and provide reference for other provinces in China to carry out water ecological environment protection in the medium and long term. • Integrated protection strategy is carried out. • Promote the construction of beautiful rivers in Hainan Island. • Helps to carry out water ecological environment protection in the medium and long term.

Beyond Growth Machine Politics: Understanding State Politics and National Political Mandates in China’s Urban Redevelopment

AbstractLarge‐scale demolition has been ubiquitous in fast urbanising China. The politics of redevelopment is often seen as secondary, derived from and defined by local entrepreneurial governance. However, changing state politics, in particular national political mandates, has not been adequately addressed. Through examining variegated practices, this paper understands how the changing national political context affects or redefines local redevelopment projects. These cases reflect local responses to the national campaigns for rural vitalisation and “Beautiful China”, heritage preservation and “incremental regeneration” (weigaizao), and community participation in dilapidated neighbourhoods for a “harmonious society”. We find that these redevelopment projects are inherited from and associated with, but at the same time go beyond, growth machine politics. We argue that their motivations reflect a governance mode of “state entrepreneurialism” to achieve extra‐economic objectives through market instruments, and that this illustrates geopolitics, especially the role of the national state in development politics.

Lowering the Carbon Emissions Peak and Accelerating the Transition Towards Net Zero Carbon

China’s declaration to the international community to peak CO2 emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 is of great significance in advancing the objectives of the Paris Agreement, and has a positive and far-reaching impact on China’s high-quality development. This paper expounds on responsibilities and ambitions in tackling climate change, analyzes the high-quality development opportunities brought about by CO2 emissions peak and carbon neutrality, and discusses the net zero carbon emissions transformation in the new era of ecological civilization. This paper is of the view that development towards net zero carbon emissions provides a new impetus for building a Beautiful China, and promoting ecological civilization and green development. The essence of carbon neutrality should be correctly understood so that the world will work together to improve climate resilience. China should also deepen the understanding of the principles and methodologies of climate change economics.

Research on evolutionary game of environmental accounting information disclosure from the perspective of multi-agent.

In the past, China, like other developing countries in the world, pursued the goal of rapid economic development at the expense of ecology and ignored the issue of environmental protection. But in recent decades, as environmental problems have become increasingly prominent, developing countries have begun to explore ways to coordinate economy and ecological environment. As the largest developing country, China has been actively exploring ecological governance plans, putting forward the concept of green development, setting the goal of building a "beautiful China" and placing the construction of ecological civilization in the ontological status of social systems and national goals. In order to accelerate the green development process of enterprises in developing countries, based on the actual situation in China, this paper constructs a tripartite evolutionary game model of environmental accounting information disclosure with enterprises, investors and media as the research objects, and analyzes the internal mechanism of environmental accounting information disclosure. The model finds that the equilibrium of the three parties is affected by multiple factors. Therefore, this study further uses system dynamics to explore the dynamic process of evolutionary games and the strategic choices among multiple agents, and explore the mechanism of three types of agents to promote environmental accounting information disclosure. The simulation results reveal that government incentives have a greater impact on guiding enterprises and the media to evolve in the direction of legal disclosure and participation in exposure strategies. In addition, the continuous reduction of the cumbersome degree of disclosure procedures and the difficulty of improving environmental performance can fundamentally promote companies to actively choose legal disclosure strategies, which will help improve the quality of environmental accounting information disclosure, boost investor confidence, and enhance government supervision.

Effect of Compactness of Urban Growth on Regional Landscape Ecological Security

With rapid urbanization destroying the ecological environment, scholars have focused on ways to coordinate harmonious development using urban spatial layouts and landscape ecological security. To explore landscape ecological security (the landscape elements, spatial positions and connections that are of key significance to the health and safety of ecological processes) from the perspective of urban form evolution pattern will help to open a new perspective of urban management research, and become the basic work of urban space policy and the implementation of the beautiful China strategy. Based on urban growth and land use data from 356 cities in China, this study applied a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model to quantify the impact of China’s urban growth pattern on landscape ecological security at the spatial level. The research results show that: (1) To some extent, the infilling growth pattern has a certain effect on the enhancement of regional landscape ecological security; (2) In the three control variables (DEM, Population density and GDP), the following conclusions are drawn: regional landscape planning should reasonably allocate landscape resources according to the local topographic features to obtain a higher landscape ecological security; The increase of population density leads to the fragmentation and diversity of the landscape in some regions, which makes the landscape ecological security weak; more economically developed areas have stronger landscape ecological security. This paper highlights the importance of urban growth patterns to landscape ecological security. In addition, considering the different urban evolution trajectories in developed and developing countries, this study proposes targeted development recommendations, providing a reference for urban managers to formulate reasonable development policies and to realize sustainable development with the goal of landscape safety management and control.

Is there a grid-connected effect of grid infrastructure on renewable energy generation? Evidence from China's upgrading transmission lines

China has built the world's largest power infrastructure. Those upgrading power grid facilities not only contribute to providing enough end-used energy for the world's factories, but also offering a basic guarantee for the clean strategy of Building a Beautiful China proposed by the Chinese government. The national grid system supported by extra-high voltage and ultra-high voltage grids as the backbone makes it possible for a non-dispatchable renewable energy source to be connected to the national grid and transmitted to terminal consumers in load centers. The aim of this paper is to test whether China's advanced power grids have played a positive role in promoting power generation of intermittent renewable energy source. A novel nonlinear estimation named panel smoothing transition regression is introduced to capture heterogeneous effects of grid-connecting renewable energy source across regions. The empirical results show that whereas power grid infrastructure generally enhances power generation of renewable energy source and consumption in energy bases and load centers, the effects change across different voltage levels of power grids. The extra-high voltage power grids show strong support for grid-connecting renewable energy source, while the effect of ultra-high voltage power grids is unexpectedly insignificant. The extra-high voltage power grids have not yet become the backbone of the national grid, which is the main reason for the inadequate grid-connected renewable energy source to the ultra-high voltage power grids, indicating the importance of upgrading the power grid infrastructure.

Research on Rural Landscape Planning and Design based on BIM

Garden landscape is the soft decoration of living environment. By creating a comfortable and pleasant environment, landscape design can not only improve the microclimate, but also improve people’s spiritual life. With the rapid development of rural areas, rural landscape planning and design has become an important direction of rural sustainable development in the future, which has also become a new starting point of building a beautiful China. However, how to plan and construct the relevant landscape design has become an important research topic. With the increasing status of BIM in the construction industry, BIM has been applied to landscape planning. This paper first analyzes the difference between BIM and traditional landscape design software. Then, this paper puts forward a detailed rural landscape planning and design scheme, which can better improve the living standards of rural people.

Beautiful China Construction Evaluation Method Based on POIs: Case Study of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

Point of interest (POI) data can provide a clear spatial location and accurate attributes for geoscience research. The traditional assessment of Beautiful China construction (BCC) has relied on statistical materials, which have shortcomings in terms of timeliness, authenticity, efficiency, and accuracy. Referring to the theoretical framework of the Zhongke Beauty Index, we built an evaluation index system and technical process based on POI data. In terms of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR), 5.09 million POIs were collected using the web crawler technique, and the Beautiful Inner Mongolia construction evaluation and analysis were performed. The results show the following: (1) POI data can be used to establish an evaluation index system for the construction of Beautiful Inner Mongolia on the county scale; in the dimensions of industrial development, social harmony, and institutional improvement, it shows especially good application prospects. (2) The Beautiful Inner Mongolia index in 2020 was 0.22. Among the five dimensions, the industrial development index was the highest, while the cultural heritage index was the lowest. We found significant spatial differences in the dimensions of cultural heritage as well as social harmony. (3) The areas in the IMAR with a low-level construction were mostly industrial and mining areas, agricultural counties, and other economically developing areas, among which the Baiyunebo mining area and Xianghuangqi and Shiguai areas had the lowest comprehensive beauty index values. (4) We also found large numerical disparities in the level of Beautiful Inner Mongolia construction between municipal districts and banners/counties, and the ranking of each region was affected by the population and coverage areas of administrative units. After verification, we found an overall good consistency between the evaluation indexes proposed in this paper and a previous study. Therefore, this paper provides a new perspective and an effective method for the application of Internet big data in economic and social evaluation work.

Grasp the Historical Opportunity of Ecological Civilization and Write a new Chapter in Rural Vitalization Based on the background of industry 4.0 —In the view of investigation and research of seven villages in Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei, Guangdong, Shandong, J

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our country has attached great importance to the construction of ecological civilization and promote socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era of ecological civilization that pursuits green production methods and lifestyles. The historical opportunity of ecological civilization enables the rural areas to realize endogenous development with unique ecological advantages as the starting point. On the basis of being close to nature, conforming to nature, and protecting nature, green development leads rural revitalization, develops ecological economy, and realizes harmonization of economic benefits, social benefits and ecological benefits, allowing the beautiful picture of "Beautiful China" to be painted on the field of hope in the rural areas, thus writing a new chapter in the rural vitalization in the new era based on the background of industry 4.0.
