Environmental protection and economic development seem to be controversial, and there have been opposite views for a long time. Hence, in this article, representative indicators of economy and environment are selected to analyze the external correlation and the internal relationship between environment and economy from the perspective of coupling coordination. The results show that environmental protection may slow down economic growth in the short term. However, their correlation becomes increasingly stronger with higher degree of coupling, and as the result in the long run, environmental protection can gradually improve the infrastructure of economic development, and environmental and economic development will become more closely coordinated in promoting green economic development. It is demonstrated that an effective way to promoting economic development is to promote scientific and technological innovation and cultivate high-end talents and improve regional cooperation, which can reduce the negative effect of environmental protection on economic development. It is also necessary to enhance the positive impact of environmental protection on economic development by transforming the mode of economic development, developing the environmental protection industry, and raising people's awareness of environmental protection. Thus, the coupling coordination between environment and economy can sustain, with both continuously bolstered.
环境保护与经济发展似乎存在矛盾，长期以来一直存在相反的观点。因此，本文从耦合协调的角度选取经济和环境的代表性指标，分析环境与经济之间的外部关联和内部关系。结果表明，环境保护在短期内可能会减缓经济增长。然而，随着耦合程度的提高，它们的相关性越来越强，从长远来看，环境保护可以逐步改善经济发展的基础设施，环境和经济发展将在推动绿色经济发展方面更加紧密协调。这表明，促进经济发展的有效途径是促进科技创新和培养高端人才，提高区域合作水平，从而减少环境保护对经济发展的负面影响。还需要通过转变经济发展方式、发展环保产业和提高人们的环保意识来增强环境保护对经济发展的积极影响。因此，环境与经济的耦合协调可以持续，两者都可以不断得到加强。
