“…The fitting equations in Table 5 were acquired based on the nonlinear fitting of the scores of comprehensive levels of the IS and AE system of every city in Zhejiang province. V A and V B of the IS and the AE of each city were obtained by calculating Equations (8) and (9) for further processing. Finally, the dynamic coupling coordination degrees of the IS and AE of 11 cities from 2006 to 2017 were obtained through Equation (10).…”

“…Among them, the secondary industry can be divided into construction and industry, while the tertiary industry includes service industry and circulation industry (such as the transportation industry, the software and information services industry, and the scientific research and technical services industries). With the progress of technology and the improvement of social productivity, the evolution of the industrial structure presents the change of upgrading and optimization [9]. The upgrading of the industrial structure refers to the process where the industrial structure transforms from a low-level pattern (primary industry) to a high-level pattern (secondary industry or tertiary industry) [10].…”

“…The upgrading of the industrial structure refers to the process where the industrial structure transforms from a low-level pattern (primary industry) to a high-level pattern (secondary industry or tertiary industry) [10]. Industrial structure optimization mirrors the coordinated development degree among different industries [9,11]. At the same time, as the core tool to coordinate economy and environment, industrial structure is directly related to how the economic system utilizes resources and emits pollutants.…”

“…Most studies only took the proportion of the secondary industry as an evaluation index to measure the industrial structure and construct the econometric regression model [13,16,19], which might lead to certain deviation and incompleteness of the analysis results. Thus, it was difficult to systematically reveal the complex influence of industrial structure evolution on the environmental system; (2) Increasing studies have centered on the relationship between industrial structure and carbon dioxide emission [9][10][11]14,18,24], as well as the relationship between industrial structure and the ecological environment system [4,23], but there is a lack of detailed study on the dimension of the air environment system. On the basis of the pressure-state-response model, it was gradually pursued by scholars to treat the air environment as a whole system from the system theory [25][26][27][28].…”

Under the dual pressure of industrial structure upgrade and atmospheric environment improvement, China, in a transition period, is facing the challenge of coordinating the relationship between the industry and the environment system to promote the construction of a beautiful China. Based on system theory and coupling coordination model, the interaction analysis framework between industrial structure (IS) and atmospheric environment (AE) was constructed. An integrated system with 24 indicators was established by the pressure-state-response (PSR) model of IS and level-quality-innovation (LQI) model of AE. Then, we analyzed trends observed in coupling coordination degree (CCD) and dynamic coupling coordination degree (DCCD) for 11 cities in Zhejiang Province, China, using statistical panel data collected from 2006 to 2017. Conclusions were as follows: (1) the 11 cities' comprehensive level of the IS system shows a trend of stable increase, yet the comprehensive level of AE demonstrated a trend of fluctuation and transition. There are significant spatial variations among cities; (2) The CCD analysis results found that Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Wenzhou take the lead in realizing the transformation from barely coordinated development to superior coordinated pattern, while other cities were still in the stage of barely coordinated development; (3) the DCCD phase of 11 cities can be roughly divided into three types: upgraded-utmost development type (only Hangzhou), stable-harmonious development type (Wenzhou, Lishui, and Zhoushan) and transitional-harmonious development type (the remaining seven cities). This means, for most cities, the contradiction between the transformation process of IS and the AE has become increasingly prominent and intensified. Finally, three necessary and sustainable strategies were proposed to environmental policy makers.

Balancing economic development with environmental protection has become a critical concern worldwide. However, along with the highly competitively global marketplace, economic factors are known to directly affect an enterprise's development and its future business. Therefore, selecting the right partner for sustainable collaboration that will lead to improved business performance and reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions is a significant problem for many enterprises. In addition, investigating the economic impact of companies that are charged to protect the environment is becoming increasingly problematic. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the comparative efficiencies of 16 Green Logistics Providers (GLPs) in the USA from 2012 to 2015, and the projected four-year period of 2016-2019, by means of an integrated approach that combines the grey forecasting model GM (1,1) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The results show that there are two GLPs, Knight Transportation and the Union Pacific Corporation, that possess a higher efficiency level and are achieving positive technical change. However, this study also determined that Hyster-Yale Materials Handling and CSX Corporation did not reach an acceptable efficiency score; therefore, they should improve technical efficiency to mitigate environmental concerns. This completely integrative methodology has the potential to provide the best decision-making strategies for finding suitable collaborative partners who are able to meet the sustainability requirements in most economic and environmental areas.

Sustaining environmental flows in water‐deficient rivers via inter‐basin hydropower transfer

In water-deficient rivers, environmental flows (e-flows) are usually sustained via interbasin water transfer projects from water-sufficient rivers, but these projects incur tremendous costs and may lead to many negative ecological effects, such as ecological invasion. This research proposed to transfer hydropower instead of water from watersufficient rivers, because hydropower could substitute for water to promote economic development and reduce water withdrawal from water-deficient rivers (conserved water). In addition, based on the analysis of eco-hydrological processes, the flow regime alteration plays an important role in restoring riverine ecosystem. With the goal of minimum flow regime alternation, we set up two scenarios to distribute the annual conserved water, and determined the optimal amount of transferred hydropower and the optimal use of conserved water, which could effectively sustain the e-flows. Accordingly, this paper established a computable general equilibrium model to analyse the substitution of hydropower for water in a water-deficient river basin, and determined the water withdrawal volume that could be reduced. We adopted a range-ofvariability approach to measure the degree of flow regime alteration, and optimized the flow regime management scheme. The Luanhe River Basin was adopted as a study case. The results showed that: the water-hydropower equivalent decreased as the transferred hydropower into the Luanhe River Basin increased; a transferred hydropower amount of 22.46 kWh/s, equivalent to 18.30 m 3 /s conserved water, was optimal for the river basin; the conserved water should be distributed to the Luanhe River in the proportions of 0.55:0.1:0.35 during the wet, normal and dry seasons, respectively, which is the optimal scheme to sustain the hydrological processes of the river.
