Abstract: This research centers on one of northern China’s most crucial economic regions—the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration. This paper primarily addresses the present circumstances, developments, and obstacles pertaining to industrial green development and industrial innovation in the region, with a particular focus on its role in fostering integrated economic and environmental growth. This study utilizes a global super-efficiency SBM model and a coupled coordination model, along with a panel data analysis technique, to determine the extent of green development, innovation, and green innovation collaboration in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration cluster between 2018 and 2022. The study revealed that, despite notable advancements in industrial green development in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration in recent years, the disparity in urban development persists, with some cities exhibiting a relatively low input–output ratio for green innovation. There is a pressing need to enhance overall efficiency through policy guidance and technical support. Furthermore, the study underscores the significance of bolstering regional collaboration and facilitating the sharing of resources and technological exchange to attain harmonized regional development.
