The road map for green development of Western China

China has made some remarkable achievements in sustainable development, but the constant deterioration of the overall trend of the environment has not yet been effectively curbed. To achieve the goal of sustainable development, we must first ensure coordination and coherence of national development goals in different areas and adhere to green development road. To achieve the objectives related to green development, and to clarify the direction of green development in the next 20 years, a road map is needed to guide and coordinate the process. This paper describes the concept of the green development road map, introduces a green development road map for the western region, and further elaborates it. The road map clarifies the objectives and guiding principles of green development in the western region, points the areas that deserve more concern and institutional innovation, and builds a green development monitoring and evaluation (M &; E) framework. Finally, the paper provides corresponding policy recommendations based on the established road map.
