Multi-scenario analysis of green water resource efficiency under carbon emission constraints in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, China: A system dynamics approach by Keyao Yu, Zhigang Li

“…The study finds that: (1) GWRE in the CCUA from 2005 to 2021 has shown a fluctuating upward trend, with the kernel density curve shifting from “short and wide” to “tall and narrow” and the peak moving to the right, indicating a gradual narrowing of GWRE disparities. (2) Model run tests and historical tests on the GWRE system demonstrate that the relative errors between the model’s predictions and actual outcomes are within 5%, confirming the model’s stability and effectiveness. (3) The green innovation and comprehensive development scenarios yield the best outcomes in terms of GWRE and carbon emission control from 2022 to 2035, reflecting the coordinated development of the economy, environment, and society. …”
