Based on the data from 2017 to 2021, this paper uses the organic combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to conduct a dynamic evaluation of the standard of Guangdong's ecological civilization. The results clearly reveal that: (1) the Guangdong Province's ecological civilization is 46.31 % above the Chinese average, but growth is uneven across cities; (2) the fluctuation of the level of eco-civilization building in the province declines more obviously; (3) cities perform differently in different dimensions of eco-civilization building, most cities in Guangdong exhibited positive performance in terms of ecology and environment, but poor performance in terms of economic development and social construction; (4) economic benefits have a strong positive influence on the level of eco-civilization building in Guangdong Province. Finally, targeted suggestions are made for the construction of eco-civilization in Guangdong Province.
