Research on Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei ecological and environmental protection cooperative development

Abstract

China's rapidly growing urbanization has brought upon setbacks such as resource depletion and environmental pollution. As an important representative of China's economic development and urban agglomeration, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration's (BTHUA) coordinated development of eco-environmental protection is still in a lagging state, and the restoration process of eco-environmental governance is relatively slow. Based on the analysis of relevant national demographic data, this study evaluates the current status of the BTHUA's eco-environmental protection program and the main issues it faces with respect to economic development status, pollutant discharge characteristics, related resources distribution characteristics, and technology resources sharing mechanisms. The results show that the current pollutant emissions and the distribution of scientific and technological resources in the BTHUA are both in an unbalanced state, together with the shortage of sharing mechanisms, resulting in a lower efficiency in the coordinated development of the ecological environment protection in BTHUA. Simultaneously, based on the front-end scientific research results, the corresponding countermeasures and scientific suggestions are put forward for the main bottleneck problems, to provide certain theoretical support for the coordinated development of ecological and environmental protection.
