A Study on the Synergy of Renewable Energy Policies in Shandong Province: Based on the Coupling Coordination Model

Abstract

Renewable energy’s integral role in addressing the global climate crisis underscores the importance of crafting coordinated policies to bolster its growth. Shandong Province, as China’s largest carbon emitter, presents an intriguing case study. Leveraging policy text analysis and the coupling coordination model, this research investigates the interplay among the diverse policy instruments within Shandong Province’s renewable energy policies. The findings reveal a harmonious and varied array of policy instruments. Yet, notable disparities emerge when examining secondary policy instruments across different types of renewable energy. Consequently, this paper offers strategic recommendations to improve the coupling coordination and utilization of policy instruments across various types of renewable energy. The ultimate aim is to strengthen policy synergies, overhaul the energy structure, and make a meaningful contribution to global climate change mitigation efforts.

Can the Establishment of National Parks Promote the Coordinated Development of Land, the Environment, and Residents’ Livelihoods?

“…In the process of selecting indicators, to reduce the interference of subjective factors [19,20], the entropy weight method was used to weight each indicator (Table 1). The main calculation steps are as follows: The collaborative operation level between subsystems can be reflected by the coupling coordination degree [21,22]. According to the comprehensive evaluation results, a coupling coordination degree model for economic development, the production-living-ecological functions of the land, and the ecological quality of the research area was constructed, as follows:…”

The Role of Artificial Intelligence (Ai) in Shaping Sustainable and Resilient Digital Supply Chains

“…Supply chains are incorporating robotic process which includes artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, digital twins, augmented reality, and other technologies digital based introduced as a part of the 4 th industrial revolution to lower production costs overall. Supply chain automation being adopted by the best businesses to reduce operational costs and eliminate shortage (P. Xu, Xu, & Bao, 2023).…”
