Study on the Sustainable Development Ability Based on Provinces in China

In combination with regional economics and development economics theory，this paper built an evaluation index system on regional sustainable development capability from the 15 indexes by the angles of economic development level, social development level, resources and environmental conditions, and gave an comprehensive evaluation on the sustainable development ability in each province of China with the data of 2010 years. The results showed that the sustainable development ability in each province of China had risen ceaselessly as the economic and social development level；But the difference of sustainable development ability in each province is great, and over time, this difference has not been narrowing. Overall, the sustainable development ability in the east is strong, and that in the western region is very weak
