Analysis of Water-Food-Energy-Ecological-Environment Coupling Coordination and Influencing Factors at Lincang City of Yunnan Province Based on Sustainable Development Goals by Zou Yongna, Cheng Qingping, Ren Yitong, Jin Hanyu

“…[Results] ① From 2010 to 2020, the WFEEc coupling coordination level of eight counties and districts at Lincang City showed an upward trend, from general coordination to good coordination (the overall coupling coordination degree of Lincang City fluctuated between 0.51 and 0.63), with obvious spatial heterogeneity. ② During the study period, the main obstacle factors of Lincang City gradually decreased, but the obstacle degree of the energy subsystem always crossed and increased year by year. ③ The main factors hindering WFEEc coupling and coordination were the national financial education funds of Linxiang District, the average wages of non-private employees at Zhenkang County, the per capita GDP of Fengqing County and Cangyuan County, the urbanization rate of Yongde County and Shuangjiang County, the per capita GDP of Yunxian County, the water resources, the centralized treatment rate of the sewage treatment plant, the national financial education funds, and the urbanization rate and water resources of Gengma County. …”
