Dual advancement of marine economic growth and environmental governance: an empirical analysis of China’s Marine Economic Development Pilot Zones

Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: April 7, 2025

Introduction This research aims to empirically investigate the dual effects of establishing Marine Economic Development Pilot Zone (MEDPZ) on marine economic growth and environmental governance. The study focuses China’s coastal provinces, where MEDPZs have been implemented, assess their impacts both aspects. Methods employs a Time-varying difference-in-differences (DID) model based panel data from provinces. method allows for assessing causal impact MEDPZ establishment governance by comparing pilot provinces with non-pilot over time. Results has significantly enhanced in Specifically, increased 1.222 percentage points, while improved 0.748. Additionally, varied spatially across different circles. northern circle experienced most substantial benefits. southern saw significant increase but relatively minor improvement In contrast, eastern was not substantially affected. Discussion findings suggest that effectively boosted competitiveness economy mitigating adverse impacts. is achieved through promoting scientific technological advancement strengthening government regulation. provides basis policymakers formulate implement development strategies consider regional differences, enhance financial support science technology R&D, enforce stricter regulations protection.

A Dynamic Simulation and Evaluation of the Coupling Coordination Degree of the Marine Economy–Resource–Environment System in China

Water, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(18), P. 2686 - 2686

Published: Sept. 21, 2024

As the scale of marine economy continues to expand, problems environmental pollution and over-exploitation resources have become increasingly severe. The purpose this study is realize sustainable growth economy, rational utilization resources, coordinated development protection. Method: This research first adopts system dynamics (SD) model. It then uses entropy method weigh evaluation indicators create a coupling coordination degree (CCD) assessment simulation economic–resource–ecological environment. We use created SD model build simulate four standard scenarios: current, economic, resource, environmental. Finally, we propose suitable recommendations for long-term based on results CCD Results: Results show following: (1) In immediate term, economic scenario poorly coordinated, whereas more effectively coordinated. However, in process, resource reasonably well (2) Priority attention must be given improving energy mix protecting natural environment promote economy. (3) To achieve virtuous cycle between protection, governments, businesses, all sectors society need work together formulate implement relevant policies initiatives.

Amidst global environmental issues and social justice challenges, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as essential guidance for policy formulation societal advancement worldwide. As a pivotal institution upholding legal fairness justice, judiciary must also align with this consensus. Contemporary judicial models emphasize traditional procedural while integrating considerations of protection, resource allocation, inclusivity. This paper examines judiciary’s evolving role within framework SDGs, analyzing how it synthesizes three pillars economy, society, environment to more comprehensively achieve equity. The SDGs provide novel perspectives impetus innovation. not only render equitable decisions in civil criminal matters but foster sustainable development through reforms. emerging model underscores enhanced focus on responsibility, commitment safeguarding vulnerable populations, raising consciousness, promoting values peace society.
