“…Currently, the concept of green development is rather vaguely defined and mostly focuses on a certain system of economy, society, or ecological environment, such as green economy, green production, and green innovation. We attempted to combine previous studies to sort out and define the theoretical framework of the green development level by integrating the three systems of economy, society, and ecological environment ( Figure 1 ) [ 39 , 40 , 41 ]. The theoretical framework was formed by the compound of the target layer, system layer, and benchmark layer.…”

In the context of continuing to promote the construction of an ecological civilization, it is of great significance to explore green development performance. However, most of the literature is based on a single perspective of level or efficiency, lacking a comprehensive examination of both. It is not scientific to explore how to promote green development only from a single perspective, which may be a new advancement by breaking the conventional thinking focusing only on level or efficiency. On this basis, we first established evaluation index systems of green development performance based on a theoretical framework. Furthermore, green development performance was measured with the entropy weight technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and super-EBM models, and finally, we analyzed the spatial and temporal evolution patterns of green development performance using the ESDA method and examined its influencing factors with a geographic detector (GD) and econometric models. The main results were as follows: (1) The trend of the green development level in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2004 to 2017 had an inverted “N” shape, while the overall average green development efficiency continuously increased. (2) In terms of spatial and temporal patterns, both the green development level and green development efficiency showed “high in the east and low in the west” spatial divergence characteristics. In terms of the spatial and temporal evolution pattern of the green development level, the L-L clusters were mainly distributed in the western region. However, for green development efficiency, the L-L clusters were mostly distributed around the H-H clusters. (3) The results of the influencing factor analysis indicated that industrial structure and people’s welfare are still important factors of the green development level. The improvement of green development efficiency was mainly driven by economic development, and the inhibiting effect of energy consumption is significant. In addition, the effect of opening up has not yet changed from a “pollution paradise” to a “pollution halo”.

“…In the process of urbanization and industrialization, scholars have proposed different theoretical systems of GD. In economic terms, the green economy and green finance are the embodiment of the economic efficiency of GD [6,7]. The green economy is a new market-economy model focusing on resource conservation and ecological protection, aimed at the coordinated development of the economy and the environment [8].…”

Green development is an important path to achieving economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Based on the comprehensive evaluation system of economy, environment, and society, this study used the entropy method, Theil index decomposition method, and spatial β-convergence model to study the differences and spatial convergence of China’s green development from 2010 to 2020. The research conclusions are as follows: First, China’s green development has an upward trend, and the eastern region is higher. Second, the regional differences in green development have the characteristic of rising first and then falling, and the differences within regions are the main source of imbalances in China’s green development. Third, China’s green development has obvious characteristics of spatial absolute β-convergence and spatial conditional β-convergence. Green innovation is conducive to narrowing the gaps in the convergence speed of regional green development. The research results comprehensively explain the characteristics of China’s green development and provide realistic evidence for China’s green development in the future.

Protecting labor safety and health and actively carrying out occupational safety and health management (OSHM) is a common need worldwide, and it is also one of the important efforts of Chinese enterprises under the background of promoting the implementation of the Healthy China strategy. Based on in-depth thinking on the current stage of OHSM, this study incorporated “management framework, management process, management effectiveness” (FPE) into an integrated framework and constructed an FPE evaluation system for enterprise OHSM. This study innovatively collected and refined FPE information from the perspective of information disclosure and used the combined weight cloud model to evaluate the occupational health and safety management level (OHSML) of 69 listed companies in China’s energy industry from 2009–2019. The results showed the following. (1) The OHSML of most listed companies in China’s energy industry was still at a low-end level. Among the companies that have issued relevant information reports, only 5.58% (S = 30) of the sample companies’ OHSML were at an acceptable level (Level IV) or declarable level (Level V). The OHSML comprehensive evaluation level of 92.56% (S = 498) of the sample companies was between the transitional level (Level III) and the improved level (Level II). (2) During 2009–2019, although the annual OHSML of listed companies in China’s energy industry showed an upward trend, the growth rate was low, and even the OHSML of some listed companies in the energy industry showed the characteristics of reduced fluctuations. (3) From the perspective of the PFT three-dimensional subsystem level of OHSM, the evaluation level of the governance framework subsystem was the highest, whereas the evaluation level of the management process subsystem and the management effectiveness subsystem were relatively low. Finally, according to the relevant results, some suggestions were proposed to improve the OHSML of listed companies in China’s energy industry. These findings can provide guidance for companies to improve their OSHM performance.
