Abstract

Under the background that the issue of environmental protection has become the focus of attention of all countries, China has also put forward a series of policies for the construction of green ecology. In order to facilitate the national or central government’s macro analysis and propose macro adjustment strategies, this paper uses a multiple linear regression model to empirically analyze the relationship between industrial pollutant emissions, agricultural pollutant emissions, domestic pollutant emissions and a province’s economic development relationship. The results show that: First, industrial pollution emissions account for a large proportion of the emissions from all sources in each province, and at the same time it has a significant positive impact on the economic development of each province; Second, agricultural pollution emissions are relative to industrial pollutants In terms of emissions and domestic pollution emissions, they account for a relatively small proportion of the emissions from various sources in each province, and their positive impact on the economic development of the provinces is less than that of industrial pollutants and domestic pollution emissions; Third, Domestic pollution emissions account for the largest proportion of emissions from all sources in each province, and at the same time it has the largest positive impact on the economic development of each province. Based on the above results, this article puts forward the following recommendations: Relevant departments should resolutely eliminate outdated production capacity, resolve excess production capacity, completely close small scattered and polluting enterprises, optimize the layout of the agricultural industry, and provide institutional and financial support for agricultural equipment and related technologies. Finally, by popularizing the knowledge of energy conservation and environmental protection to the residents to cultivate their awareness of environmental protection, promote the reuse of resources, and achieve the goal of a balance between a beautiful ecological environment and a high level of economic development.
