摘要

Evaluating resource-environment pressure (REP) is crucial for achieving rational resource utilization and sustainable development. The New Western Land-Sea Corridor (NWLSC) in China, as an important hub of the “Belt and Road”, faces resource-environmental challenges. This paper puts forward a “Measurement-Determination-Causation” framework. Leveraging the three-dimensional footprint family model and LMDI decomposition approach, it quantifies the spatial-temporal features and impact factors of REP within the NWLSC. The findings indicate that: (1) Temporally, the water footprint size (WFsize) fluctuates between 1.140 and 1.081, while the carbon and ecological footprint sizes increased by 30.91% and 40.85%, respectively. Footprint depths were greater than 1, indicating the need to use stock capital. In addition, the REP shows an increasing trend. (2) Spatially, footprint sizes show a “south-high and north-low” distribution. Meanwhile, water footprint depth (WFdepth) shows the opposite pattern. Most urban agglomerations, such as Chengdu-Chongqing, are located in the “blue mitigation zone”, but the REP remains at a high level. (3) Driving force analysis shows that economic growth acts as the predominant catalyst propelling REP growth, with its contribution expanding from 37.68% in 2000 to 57.77% in 2022. Technological innovation and “regional linkage” are conducive to the reduction of REP. Based on the above findings, NWLSC should carry out industrial structure optimization, green technology sharing, and cross-regional collaborative governance. Therefore, the research results can help to achieve synergistic advancement of economic prosperity and ecological sustainability.
