Green production plans on production processes based on the principle of benefiting ecological and environmental protection, and manufacturers green products to satisfy green consumption. The contents of green production, which in essence is a constantly perfecting process, will keep updating and advancing with technological progress and economic development. Importance-Performance Analysis, IPA, is a methodology frequently used to evaluate performances and enhance competitive strategies. By IPA, this research project evaluated the performance of the firm under study in green production, which was intended as the basis for improvement by the same firm.

Green hotels emphasize safety, health, and environmental friendliness and advocate for green operations, green consumption, environmental protection, and the reasonable consumption of resources in operations. In short, environmental protection and moderate resource consumption are underscored. The literature on green hotel criteria and competitive strategies has two shortcomings. Some studies assume the independence of each criterion; these criteria are not mutually influential or causally related. By contrast, other studies set equal weights for all criteria. The present study explored the criteria and competitive strategies of green hotels by combining the importance-performance analysis (IPA) and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method into the IPA-DEMATEL model.

This chapter examines ecological modernization, a discourse that addresses the restructuring of the capitalist political economy along more environmentally defensible lines. At one level ecological modernization is about the search for green production technology, and especially clean energy. However, this search also opens the door to intriguing possibilities for more intensive transformation, involving political change as well as technological change. So although at first sight ecological modernization looks like a rescue mission for industrial society, albeit an imaginative one, it also points to political and economic possibilities beyond industrial society. The central assumption of ecological modernization is that the capitalist political economy needs conscious reconfiguring and far-sighted action so that economic development and environmental protection can proceed hand-in-hand and reinforce one another. The chapter first explains the idea of ecological modernization before discussing its discourse analysis. It concludes with some remarks on the future of ecological modernization.

As the resources & environment issues faced by various countries and regions in social and economic development become more and more prominent, green government procurement has drawn widespread attention of all the countries. Implementation of green government procurement can guide the society’s concept of green consumption, promote the development of green industries and technologies, guide and cultivate a host of green products and industries, and enhance the public’s environmental awareness. Through analyzing the modes of green government procurement adopted by the US, the EU and Japan, especially the performance indexes of green products, this paper has comparatively analyzed the differences between China and developed countries in green procurement measures, and put forward the direction for our country to improve the policies of green government procurement.

As the world’s largest developing country, and as the home to many of the world’s factories, China plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of the world economy regarding environmental protection, energy conservation, and emission reduction issues. Based on the data from 2003–2015, this paper examined the green total factor productivity and the technological progress in the Chinese manufacturing industry. A slack-based measure (SBM) Malmquist productivity index was used to measure the bias of technological change (BTC), input-biased technological change (IBTC), and output-biased technological change (OBTC) by decomposing the technological progress. It also investigated the mechanism of environmental regulation, property right structure, enterprise-scale, energy consumption structure, and other factors on China’s technological progress bias. The empirical results showed the following: (1) there was a bias of technological progress in the Chinese manufacturing industry during the research period; (2) although China’s manufacturing industry’s output tended to become greener, it was still characterized by a preference for overall CO2 output; and (3) the impact of environmental regulations on the Chinese manufacturing industry’s technological progress had a significant threshold effect. The flexible control of environmental regulatory strength will benefit the Chinese manufacturing industry’s technological development. (4) R&D investment, export delivery value, and structure of energy consumption significantly contributed to promoting technological progress. This study provides further insight into the sustainable development of China’s manufacturing sector to promote green-biased technological progress and to achieve the dual goal of environmental protection and healthy economic growth.

There are various signs indicating that the Earth's natural environment is changing toward unfavorable direction for species, which is highly suspected to be connected with human activities. In the last century, people all over the world have realized the severity of environmental issues. In the long history, Chinese ancient had already development good rules and methods to reach balance between economic development and environment sustainability. This paper will discuss how environmental concepts forms and which methods could be applied in the future.
