Abstract

The “Belt and Road” is an international cooperation strategy proposed in 2013, which spans the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, involving more than 140 countries and covering various infrastructure projects, trade networks and economic cooperation. Countries along the “Belt and Road” form a complex, diverse and interrelated community of destiny due to differences in national systems, resource endowments, development levels, complementarity with China's economic structure and the strength of international cooperation relations. Therefore, in the process of deepening the high-quality development of the “Belt and Road”, scientific analysis of the resource and environmental patterns along the route is essential to accurately grasp the direction of international cooperation and efficiently carry out international cooperation. Therefore, based on the public data provided by the World Bank, FAO, UNESCO and other international institutions, this paper analyzed the resource and environment pattern along the “Belt and Road” and finds that the east and west ends of the route are the fast-growing East Asian economic sphere and the developed European economic sphere respectively, while the middle is the resource-rich, relatively fragile, sensitive and fragmented continental hinterland, with rich agricultural resources and products, tourism resources, multiple cultures and religions, and great potential for economic development and cultural exchange and cooperation. Our results will provide a scientific reference for promoting the high-quality development of the “Belt and Road” together.
