Abstract
The rapid advancement of industrialization has exacerbated ecological issues and led to excessive resource consumption, creating an imbalance between resource carrying capacity and economic development. Against this backdrop, as the economy transitions toward high-quality development, the green economy has become an inevitable choice for promoting coordinated regional development. As one of China's most open and economically dynamic regions, enhancing the green economic competitiveness of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area holds critical significance for achieving the dual carbon goals and advancing national strategic planning. Against the backdrop of the “dual carbon” goals and high-quality development requirements, this paper focuses on the dynamic development mechanism of the Greater Bay Area's green economic competitiveness. It first defines the core essence of the green economy, clarifies its synergistic relationship with the low-carbon economy and circular economy, and emphasizes its leading role as a comprehensive development model that integrates economic, social, and ecological dimensions. Using multi-source statistical data from 2005 to 2021 and employing the entropy method to construct a comprehensive evaluation system, the study analyzes the temporal evolution of the region's green economic competitiveness. Results show its composite index increased from 0.396 in 2005 to 0.602 in 2022, representing a 52.1% growth, though growth exhibited fluctuations due to factors like the global financial crisis and the pandemic. Analysis of coexisting growth poles reveals a gradient pattern of “core polarization-peripheral dependency” in the Greater Bay Area. The four core cities—Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macao—Contribute over 60% of green technology output, while secondary cities exhibit significant asymmetry in industrial synergy and ecological compensation. The study proposes a three-dimensional E-S-E analytical framework integrating economic vitality, ecological carrying capacity, and social coordination assessment dimensions. This framework provides empirical evidence for optimizing regional green development strategies and advancing high-quality coordinated development.
