Abstract Inclusive green growth is a kind of sustainable development mode that pursues economic growth, social justice, people's welfare, achievement sharing, energy saving and environmental protection, as well as overall coordination of economy, society and resources and environment. Based on the provincial panel data of China from 2001 to 2014, this paper constructs an inclusive green growth index system from the dimensions of economic growth, social justice, livelihood welfare, green production consumption and ecological environment protection, and calculates the inclusive green growth index by using entropy weight method. The result shows that the inclusive green growth level in the eastern region is significantly ahead and there is a ladder distribution (east>northeast>west>central) among regions. Overall, the inclusive green growth level of developed provinces is in the lead, while the provinces with weak economic traditionally are lag behind. A few western underdeveloped provinces stands out abruptly, such as Qinghai and Inner Mongolia. In the meanwhile, a minority of economically strong provinces rank at the bottom, such as Henan and Hebei. The unbalanced development problem among provinces is prominent. In most of the provinces from the central and western, the inclusive green growth takes on increasing trend. Part of the provinces come to the standstill, such as Shanxi and Hebei. What’s more, Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai even present the signs of retrogression.
