Abstract

In order to evaluate China's level of ecological civilization, a set of indicators was established according to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the goal of ecological civilization construction in China. Using the double-benchmark progressive method and taking a city as an evaluated unit, this study examines the level of ecological civilization of three typical urban agglomerations: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jingjinji), the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta. The results indicate that the ecological civilization level of the Pearl River Delta ranks highest (69.95) and the ecological civilization level of Jingjinji ranks lowest (59.04). Green environmental field is the shortcoming of the three urban agglomerations' EC level. The urban EC level evaluation data shows the shortcomings of the EC, and designate the direction for the EC development level.
