The problem of ecological environment is a global problem. It is a basic material condition for human beings to survive and engage in various production practices, and has a tremendous impact on our economic and social life and development. In recent years, the overall situation of the ecological environment in western China has been severe. On the one hand, it is because of the inherent fragility of the ecological environment in the western region. On the other hand, it is due to human, economic, and political and legal factors. Therefore, the western region is faced with the dual task of protecting the environment and developing the economy. In the face of these dual tasks, the western region must choose a development model based on the coordinated development of the environment and economy. Therefore, this paper selects data from 12 provinces and cities in the western part of China for 6 years, adopts multiple evaluation methods to conduct a dynamic comprehensive assessment of the western ecological environment, and provides some corresponding countermeasures for the coordinated development of the environment and economy in the western ecologically fragile region.
