A　holistic　framework　that　integrates　economic　growth　(EG)　and　resource-environmental　protection　is　crucial　for　achieving　sustainable　development.　This　research　paper　introduces　a　novel　monetary　measurement　system　for　resource-environmental　pressure　(REP)　based　on　the　decoupling　scheme　proposed　by　the　United　Nations　Environmental　Program　(UNEP).　Subsequently,　employing　China　as　a　case　study,　the　paper　analyzes　the　decoupling　relationship　between　EG　and　REP　using　the　Tapio　decoupling　model.　The　main　findings　indicate　that:　(1)　The　overall　REP　in　China　exhibits　an　increasing　trend　from　2004　to　2017.　Among　the　various　components　of　REP,　energy　consumption　accounts　for　the　highest　proportion　(approximately　75%),　followed　by　environmental　degradation　and　pollution　abatement.　(2)　At　the　provincial　level,　the　decoupling　effect　of　REP　is　highly　consistent　with　that　of　natural　resource　loss.　The　overall　decoupling　states　of　REP　and　its　sub-indicators　demonstrate　significant　improvement　around　2010.　(3)　The　decoupling　performance　between　REP　and　EG　is　primarily　driven　by　policy　interventions.　To　achieve　the　decoupling　objectives　set　by　the　UNEP　and　ensure　sustainable　development,　there　is　a　need　to　intensify　environmental　policies　in　the　future.　(4)　The　decoupling　effect　of　environmental　impact　loss　at　the　provincial　level　exhibits　notable　volatility　during　the　2004-2017　period.　The　attainment　of　stable　and　strong　decoupling　performance　in　terms　of　environmental　impact　loss　cannot　be　guaranteed.　(5)　From　a　regional　perspective,　provinces　within　the　same　region　display　similar　decoupling　trends　over　time.　Hence,　it　is　crucial　to　consider　regional　collaborative　governance　in　addressing　decoupling　challenges　and　promoting　sustainable　economy.
