Abstract: This study analyses the coupling coordination relationship between carbon emissions, economic development, and environmental management in various provinces in China from 1997 to 2020. The results show that low carbon emissions have a positive impact on the coordination relationship among the three. Guangdong Province ranks first in the coupling coordination degree of carbon emissions, economic development, and environmental management by virtue of its open policy, carbon rights trading, and industrial transformation. Its economic development has always been at the forefront of the country, providing a reference for studying the quantitative relationship between economic development and environmental management.

Keywords: financial and economic progress; environmental management; low carbon sustainable; coupling coordination model; weighted TOPSIS comprehensive evaluation method.
