The construction of the green Belt and Road is an important aspect for the achievement of a green transition of the regional economy and an important aspect of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Chinese government has attached great importance to the green BRI, and it has successively issued the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Green BRI and the Belt and Road Ecological and Environmental Cooperation Plan, which embodies China's firm determination and practical action to promote the green BRI. In this paper, an index system and multi-hierarchy linear summation method is proposed to evaluate the level of green development in 2015 for 49 countries along the Belt and Road. The results showed that the green development levels displayed spatial differences, varying from high to low in an easterly direction from the western region. The spatial differentiation was characterized by strong global spatial dependences and a ladder-like distribution that descends from west to east, with a centralized distribution of high-high zones and low-low zones and a dispersed distribution of low-high zones. This study also provides policy recommendations for Belt and Road countries.
“一带一路”建设是实现区域经济绿色转型的重要方面，也是联合国 2030 年可持续发展议程的重要组成部分。中国政府高度重视绿色“一带一路”建设，先后发布了《关于推进绿色“一带一路”建设的指导意见》和《“一带一路”生态环保合作规划》，体现了中国推动绿色“一带一路”建设的坚定决心和务实行动。本文构建了“一带一路”绿色发展评价指标体系，采用多指标多层次线性综合评价方法，对 2015 年“一带一路”49 个国家的绿色发展水平进行了测度。结果表明：“一带一路”绿色发展水平具有显著的空间差异，呈现出由西向东逐渐降低的态势；空间分异格局表现出较强的全局空间相关性和由西向东阶梯式递减的分布特征，且高-高集聚区和低-低集聚区呈现集聚分布，高-低集聚区呈现离散分布。本研究为“一带一路”国家提供了政策建议。
