Abstract: Green development and common prosperity are two major development goals put forward by the Chinese government. Based on the background of green development, the index system of common prosperity is designed in this paper, and the entropy method and coefficient of variation method are used to calculate the level of common prosperity in China from 2010 to 2020. The research findings are as follows: Firstly, the level of common prosperity based on the background of China’s green development has been raised from 2010 to 2020. The level of common prosperity based on the background of China’s green development has increased from 0.301 in 2010 to 0.513 in 2020. Secondly, based on the background of China’s green development, the level of common prosperity in the eastern region is higher than that in the northeast region, the northeast region is higher than that in the central region, and the central region is higher than that in the western region. Thirdly, the regional difference in common prosperity level based on the background of green development shows a trend of narrowing, with the coefficient of variation decreasing from 0.25 in 2010 to 0.13 in 2020. Finally, based on the research findings, corresponding suggestions are put forward to promote common prosperity.
