Sustainable development is one of the basic requirements of the Scientific Outlook on Development. It is a theory and strategy for the coordinated development of nature, science and technology, economy, and society. As an important province in northwest China, Qinghai has important industries such as energy, tourism, agriculture, and animal husbandry. The field has unique resource advantages, rich in mineral resources and unique natural scenery. As one of the country’s important regional economic development areas, it has made certain achievements in industrial structure adjustment and sustainable development in recent years. However, Qinghai’s economic development is faced with problems such as a single industrial structure, excessive resource dependence, and unreasonable resource utilization. This article mainly analyzes the current status of the industrial structure in Qinghai Province, and discusses the challenges and coping strategies that need to be promoted more actively to adjust industrial structure in order to achieve sustainable economic development.
