Abstract: Abstract The construction of ecological civilization and the protection of ecological environment are crucial to the green transformation of economic society and the high-quality development of ecological economy. Based on the panel data of the 11 provinces (municipalities) in the Yangtze River Basin from 2009 to 2023, this paper constructs an indicator system for measuring the ecological economic development levels, and uses entropy method and equidistance division method to measure it comprehensively. The research shows that the growth rate of ecological economy in the Yangtze River basin is significant and the trend is good during this period, and the downstream region is the first, followed by the middle, and the upper reaches are relatively lagging behind. Therefore, it is suggested that more efforts should be made to build a coordinated development mechanism of ecological economy in the Yangtze River basin, strengthen the construction of regional ecological compensation mechanism and improve the policy support system, so as to provide assistance and guidance for the sustainable development of ecological economy in the Yangtze River Basin.
