A Comparative Performance of Green Technology, Green Growth, Social, and Economic Development in India and China

Abstract

This chapter provides the comparative performance of green technology (GT), green growth, and social-economic development in India and China. It used 43 indicators that helped to increase green growth and social-economic development. Time trend analysis is applied to examine the performance of green growth, GT, and economic development. Correlation coefficient analysis is used to examine the association of economic development and useful indicators related to green growth, GT, and digitalization. India has relatively low scope to apply GT in the production sector as compared to China. Therefore, most green growth and digitalization-related indicators have a positive and statistically significant association with economic development in India and China. India has a greater possibility to apply green technologies to increase the green growth and economic development. This chapter produces several policy proposals to increase green growth, resource efficiency, and sustainable development through GT and digitalization.
