To explore the impact of economic activities on environmental quality, the first step is to finely preprocess regional socio-economic development data. Subsequently, the analytic hierarchy process was used to construct an environmental quality assessment system and scientifically calculate the weights of each indicator. Based on the calculation results, focus on three key indicators: industrialisation process, urbanisation process, and energy consumption. Using random forest, vector autoregression model and double difference method to deeply analyse its impact. The research results show that the industrialisation process, urbanisation process, and energy consumption growth have significantly increased environmental pressure. However, through strategies such as industrial upgrading and energy structure optimisation, environmental pressure has been effectively alleviated.
