Abstract
To accelerate the transformation of the economic development pattern, it is necessary to coordinate the development of the economy, resources and environment. In the course of economic development, much attention should be paid to the resources, ecological protection, environmental stress and climate change. The Index of Carrying Potential of Natural Resources and Environment (ICPNRE) measures the Carrying Potential of resources, ecological protection, environmental stress and climate change that underlies future economic development and human activities in a region. As one of the important elements of the Green Development Index (GDI), ICPNRE reflects the conditions of natural resources and ecology, and the impacts of human activities on natural resources, environment, ecology and climate in that region.
