Abstract
This research examines the impact of the green economy on industrial structure, focusing on the viewpoints of enterprises, consumers, and the government, and provides comprehensive evaluation of the trends in reform and development within China’s environmentally friendly sector. The study reveals that the green economy has a significant influence on optimizing the industrial structure. Encouraging companies to adopt green production practices can lead to a shift towards resource-efficient and environmentally friendly production methods, promoting the transformation of the industrial structure towards green industries. Guiding consumers towards green consumption can stimulate the demand for green industries, thereby driving the transformation of the industrial structure towards green consumption-driven. Strengthening the government's environmental responsibilities can tilt the industrial structure towards environmental industries and foster the advancement of the eco-friendly economy. By optimizing the arrangement of industries, the green economy contributes to achieving sustainable development, providing important references for encouraging the environmentally conscious enhancement of industrial structures and building an environmentally friendly economic system.
