Progress of Chinese ecological civilization construction and obstacles during 2003–2020: Implications from one set of emergy-based indicator system

Ecological civilization (EC), firstly put forward by the Chinese government, has attracted extensive attention in the world. However, how to evaluate progress of ECC (Ecological civilization construction) still needs deep exploration. To this end, this study put forward one set of novel indicator sy...
