Abstract
Currently, the Chinese government is striving to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, a new driving force for China's economy. With guiding policies being introduced under the "dual carbon" goal, China has witnessed rapid development in new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and other industries. Meanwhile, the pursuit of the "dual carbon" goal is beneficial to China's industrial structure upgrading. Research on the Yangtze River Delta, a region with the most dynamic economic development and a stable industrial system, in terms of economic and industrial structure development against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" goal is of great significance. Based on previous studies selected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure concerning green economy development and industrial structure of cities in the Yangtze River Delta under the "dual carbon" goal, this study summarizes the current status of the green economy and industrial structure of this region, and discusses the impact pathways of how policies, market, technologies, industry, energy utilization and consumption influence the green economy development and industrial structure upgrading under the "dual carbon" goal. Furthermore, in light of the current advances in applications and research, it explores the future trend of the Yangtze River Delta development and proposes relevant policy recommendations from six aspects. Including the market, employment, technologies, energy utilization, energy-intensive industries, and emerging industries.
