How to Evaluate the Coordination of Green Economy, Education Development, and Technological Innovation? Take China as Example

Abstract

The coordination of green economy, education development, and technological innovation is of great significance for reversing the trend of ecological environmental deterioration and promoting high-quality economic development. This study first designs the indicator system of green economy, education development, and technological innovation, then uses the entropy method to calculate the comprehensive level of green economy, education development, and technological innovation of 30 provinces and cities in China, and finally uses the coupling coordination model to measure the coordination level among them. The research shows that, first, the comprehensive level of green economy, education development, and technological innovation in 30 provinces and cities in China showed a rising trend from 2005 to 2016, but there were some regional differences in their levels. Second, the coordination level of green economy, education development, and technological innovation in different regions of China was in a rising trend from 2005 to 2016, but in 2005, they were extremely uncoordinated. Also, the coordination level of green economy, education development, and technological innovation in most regions of China grew very slowly from 2005 to 2010 but showed a rapid increase from 2011 to 2016. The coordination level of green economy, education development, and technological innovation in eastern China was visibly higher than that of the central region. The coordination level of the central region was higher than that of the northeast region, and the coordination level of the northeast region was higher than that of the western region. Finally, the limitations of this paper are summarized and proposed the direction of future research.

An empirical analysis of the coupling and coordinated development of new urbanization and ecological welfare performance in China’s Chengdu–Chongqing economic circle

“…Navickienė’s research highlights the key role of sustainable communities, education and stakeholder engagement in promoting socially and environmentally compatible development 80 . Therefore, in addition to the above macro and micro level measures, the importance of sustainable communities, education, and stakeholder engagement in promoting the coordinated development of NU and EWP should be emphasized 81 , 82 . First, sustainable communities are now recognized as incubators of green lifestyles, contributing to the EWP by raising residents' environmental awareness and promoting green lifestyles 83 .…”

ESG performance and green innovation: An investigation based on quantile regression

“…Therefore, a government's efforts to accumulate human capital and improve its structure in terms of social performance will undoubtedly drive green innovation (Hussain et al, 2023). By increasing investment in education and popularizing education nationwide, a government can improve the quality of the nation's population (Raihan, 2023), increase the supply of highly educated labor talents (Hua & Wang, 2023), and provide the necessary labor resources for green innovation (Chen et al, 2017; Wu & Zhang, 2022). In the field of enterprise management, the improvement of education and skills of senior managers effectively promotes the quality of green management and stimulates green innovation activities (He et al, 2021).…”

Trends in Educational Research for Sustainable Development in Postgraduate Education Programs at a University in Peru

“…Undoubtedly, educational innovation with ICT requires complementing individual, institutional, and social elements, and its repercussions transcend school spaces, having social, environmental, and human impacts. Hence, studies highlight the articulation between the green economy, educational development, and technological innovation [77] in the same way that other studies emphasize the relationship between technological innovation and sustainable regional development [78], establishing challenges in the path of technological innovation of artificial intelligence in productive and educational integration [79], the modernization of the industrial structure [80], and industry 4.0 [81].…”
