Evaluation of Regional Low-Carbon Competitiveness and Identification of Obstacle Factors-Take Anhui Province as an Example
The level of low-carbon competitiveness is an important symbol to judge the strength of regional sustainable development.In order to systematically and effectively evaluate the develop-ment of regional low-carbon competitiveness,the entropy weight TOPSIS method combined with the coupling coordination degree model and the obstacle degree model is adopted.From the five as-pects of economy,energy,industrial science and technology,social life and environment,20 indica-tors were selected to evaluate the dynamic change trend,subsystem coupling coordination degree and obstacle factors of low-carbon competitiveness in Anhui Province during 2010-2022.The re-sults show that:The overall level showed a steady growth trend from 2010 to 2022,increasing from 0.443 in 2010 to 0.799 in 2022,and gradually tending to a better level.From 2010 to 2022,the coupling coordination degree between the five subsystems was improved overall,from 0.355(mild misalignment)in 2010 to 0.917(good coordination)in 2022;The impact of each subsys-tem on low-carbon competitiveness is manifested as energy subsystem>economic subsystem>envi-ronment subsystem>industrial science and technology subsystem>social life subsystem.
