TOPICS
ABSTRACT
Achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality targets necessitates a holistic green transformation
of both the economy and society, presenting a formidable challenge for resource-dependent cities
with high energy needs. Liaoning Province, China was the first to pilot the economic transformation
of resource-based cities, exploring the relationship between urban resilience and carbon emissions,
which holds crucial implications for steering resource-based cities towards models of decarbonized
development and innovative energy systems. This article establishes a comprehensive indicator system,
encompassing five key dimensions: economy, society, resources, ecology, and technological innovation.
It constructs an urban resilience evaluation model using combined weighting and improved TOPSIS
and a resilience obstacle degree model. To evaluate the spatiotemporal resilience shifts in Liaoning’s
resource-based cities and their correlation with carbon emissions. The findings reveal: (1) A fundamental
alignment between the resilience of resource-based cities and the dual carbon goals, particularly
noticeable in sectors or cities with lower energy reliance. A negative correlation exists between carbon
dioxide emissions and urban resilience. (2) In industries highly dependent on fossil fuels, carbon
dioxide emissions, and urban resilience tend to increase together. However, a development strategy
that compromises ecological resilience is unsustainable. The degree of energy dependence critically
influences this trend. (3) Examining the spatiotemporal changes in urban resilience, the disparity
among cities is diminishing, with notable resilience fluctuations aligning closely with carbon emission
levels. Technological innovation and economic dimensions emerge as the primary hurdles to enhancing
the resilience of Liaoning’s resource-based cities.
