The Baijiu industry is a significant contributor to both the food industry and the light industry. Its high tax characteristics effectively promote the sustainable development of the regional economy. First, the evaluation index system of scientific and technological innovation (STI) and high-quality development of Baijiu industry (HQDBI) were constructed. The entropy-improved CRITIC method was used to measure the weights. Second, the coordination relationship and evolution trend of STI and HQDBI were explored using the coupling coordination model and the Tapio decoupling model. Then, the transfer law and key influencing factors were further investigated using the Markov chain and grey correlation, respectively. The main contribution is the dynamic evolution of the coupling and decoupling relationships from the perspective of multiple Baijiu provinces, and deeply depicts the coordination relationship and evolutionary trends of STI and HQDBI. The results show that: the spatial distribution of the coupling coordination degree shows high values in the east-west and low values in the north-south characteristics. In 2021, a pattern of coordinated development in Baijiu provinces has emerged along the Yangtze River basin. The decoupling state is mainly strong decoupling, but it remains poor in Shanxi. The coordination process is unstable and difficult to achieve leapfrog development. Coordination, sustainability and innovation environment have a greater impact on the coordination of subsystems.

The concept of decoupling has emerged as a critical pathway towards sustainable development. Decoupling refers to the separation of economic growth and development from resource consumption and environmental degradation. The belief that there is a direct relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution remained constant and move in the same direction. Therefore, in order to reduce pollution and emissions, it is necessary to reduce the pace of economic growth. However, the presence of new evidence supporting the possibility of separating them has garnered global attention. This has led to increased international and local efforts in formulating policies and initiatives that promote the pursuit of decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation and accelerating the process of sustainable development. This study aims to explain the policies that enhance the decoupling by China, Egypt, and European Union (EU) countries to address environmental challenges. The findings highlight the measures undertaken by these countries and regions to mitigate pollution and promote sustainable development. China has made significant progress in reducing air pollution and transitioning to renewable energy sources. Egypt has also implemented various initiatives, particularly in renewable energy and waste management. EU countries, as a group, have adopted ambitious policies and achieved notable decoupling from carbonintensive practices. However, challenges remain in meeting international climate targets. The study concludes that while progress has been made, further efforts are needed worldwide to accelerate decoupling and achieve sustainable development goals.

“…As part of the implementation of modern international practice, researchers use retrospective data to prove a cyclical symmetric relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and real GDP growth, justifying the need for constant progress in their differentiation, especially in developing economies [8]. In this context, it is relevant to investigate the binary concepts of decoupling and dematerialisation, which is proposed to be evaluated both by territorial and consumer approaches using environmental elasticity as a key indicator [9].…”

Accelerated population growth on the planet leads to an increase in production, which causes the need to increase the production of raw materials, expand the construction of industrial structures, increase social infrastructure facilities, and so on. Consequently, the creation of appropriate conditions for the existence of modern civilisation leads to an exhaustible use of natural resource potential and an aggravation of global environmental problems that have a destructive impact on the environment. Considering the above, the issue of monitoring environmental consequences from economic activities acquires significant theoretical and practical significance, which determines the relevance of the subject matter. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations and applied aspects of measuring the decoupling effect under the condition of an environmentally oriented course of social development. The methodological basis of the study is the methods of empirical research and theoretical cognition, in particular the method of formalisation, abstract and logical, observation, measurement, and comparison. The study used general scientific methods and techniques, in particular, analysis and synthesis, analogy and economic modelling, induction and deduction. The paper systematises the opinions of leading researchers on understanding the concept of decoupling based on the resource approach and environmental impact. The analysis provided the basis for investigating the impact of production on the environment in the context of regions in 2016-2020 and visualising an integral indicator of the regional decoupling effect. Generalisation of the value of factors in Ukraine as a whole allowed projecting the environmental consequences of economic activities for the future. The practical significance of the study is to substantiate practical recommendations for strengthening environmental policy and minimising the destructive impact on the environment, considering the challenges associated with military operations on the territory of Ukraine. Further research is aimed at considering the achieved effect of decoupling within certain branches of the national economy
