Abstract

As global climate and resource‑environment constraints intensify, the green economic transition under China's "dual‑carbon" strategy has become urgent. The traditional development model faces bottlenecks such as an over‑reliance on heavy industries and insufficient green technologies. New‑Quality Productivity, driven by technological innovation and characterized by intelligentization, digitalization, and ecologicalization, is inherently green productivity and highly aligned with green, low‑carbon development. Drawing on the Marxist theory of natural productive forces and the cycle of material metabolism, this paper analyzes the internal logic through which New‑Quality Productivity enables green and low‑carbon development via four mechanisms: technology‑driven innovation, factor structure reshaping, industrial system restructuring, and institutional–market synergy. In response to practical bottlenecks-including insufficient coverage of new infrastructure, shallow technology‑industry integration, lagging institutional and standard systems, and poor multi‑stakeholder coordination-this paper proposes practical pathways from four dimensions: strengthening new infrastructure, deepening technology‑industry integration, innovating institutional and standard systems, and building a multi‑stakeholder collaborative ecosystem. The aim is to provide theoretical and practical references for New‑Quality Productivity to drive a green, low‑carbon, and high‑quality economic development.
