Abstract

This article conducts a systematic study on the economic effects of green industrial policies. First, let's analyze the background of its introduction. It emerged under the impetus of factors such as global climate change, resource and environmental constraints, and the enhancement of public environmental awareness. Then elaborate on the current policy situation, covering multiple fields such as finance and taxation, and guide the aggregation of resources with various tools. Studies have found that policies have positive effects in aspects such as economic growth, industrial structure, employment, and international competitiveness. However, there are regional differences. The eastern region has significant advantages, the central region faces challenges, and the western region is constrained by multiple factors. Based on this, suggestions such as optimizing policies, strengthening regional coordination, formulating differentiated policies and enhancing innovation are put forward to promote the high-quality development of the green industry and achieve a virtuous interaction between the economy and environmental protection.
