Geochemical Ecological Economic Triadic Harmonization: SustainablePathways for Earth System
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study presents a framework for achieving global ecological civilization through the principle of ‘Geochemical-ecological-economic triadic harmonization.’ Facing escalating environmental challenges, rigorous implementation of this principle is crucial for fostering a green future that integrates Earth system integrity, environmental protection, and sustainable economic development. The framework emphasizes (1) a holistic understanding of Earth’s interconnected ecosystems, (2) the urgent need for environmental conservation, and (3) the transformative potential of human economic evolution. By fostering enhanced Earth consciousness, unwavering environmental commitment, green economic transformation, and social equity, this approach aims to construct a world characterized by ecological civilization, economic prosperity, and social harmony. The paper argues that upholding ‘Geochemical-ecological-economic triadic harmonization’ and pursuing a green development pathway can realize synergistic outcomes for both economic advancement and environmental stewardship, securing a legacy of a healthy Earth for future generations. It advocates for moving beyond the conventional “pollute first, remediate later” paradigm and establishing a non-zero-sum relationship between environmental integrity and economic prosperity by focusing on achieving coordinated and sustainable development across Earth’s systems, environmental stewardship, and human economic advancement.
