Abstract This paper analyzes the effective path of environmental regulation on the decoupling between economic growth and environmental pollution from the perspective of Tapio decoupling elastic theory. It also estimates the different decoupling convergence states led by different environmental regulations according to the System GMM estimation method. The results show that: (1) increasing environmental regulation contributes to the decoupling between economic growth and environmental pollution, and the promoting effect mainly achieved by adjusting the way of production; (2) the impact of environmental regulation on the decoupling state is not only related to the intensity of its own regulation, but also influenced by the government's investment in science and technology. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively balance the intensity of environmental regulation and the green technology investment; (3) there are obvious differences in the impact of environmental regulation on the decoupling between the eastern coastal cities and inland cities, which indicates the proper formulation of environmental regulation policies based on the different regional characteristics.
