Abstract: Based on the concept of green innovation, this paper reviews and comments on the comprehensive evaluation and efficiency evaluation of green innovation performance in China from such aspects as indicator system, methods, performance level and influence factors. The results show that the main objects of green innovation performance are manufacturing industries and heavy industries closely related to energy consumption, and the number of studies on high-tech industries is increasing. But there is a lack of research on service industries and modern agriculture and so on; Scholars tend to analyze the performance gap between regions, while the study on the gap between enterprises, industries and international communities remains to be furthered; In the selection of evaluation indicators, the unified evaluation standard or index system is lacked, especially for some specific industries and divided areas; Most existing researches focus on the overall efficiency and external factors, yet less attention is paid to the stage efficiency and internal factors; Finally, based on the influence factors of green innovation performance, the incentive mechanism is going to be one of the focuses of further study.

Key words: green innovation performance, green innovation efficiency, influence factors, literature review
