“…To address this imprecision, Zadeh introduced fuzzy set theory in 1965. The method has served as a useful tool to overcome ambiguities in the process of linguistic estimation, and to convert these linguistic terms into fuzzy numbers (Shang et al ., ). Tseng (), Wu et al .…”

Green growth has been identified as an effective way to foster economic growth and address environmental problems, and is practised in various countries globally. However, there remain several obstacles and difficulties to evaluating green growth practices in theory, as there is no proper evaluation framework. To bridge this gap, a universal and comprehensive evaluation indicator system for green growth is built based on improving the plan–do–check–action (PDCA) cycle method, and then is applied to study China's green growth practices by using a hybrid method combining fuzzy set theory and the Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The influences and interrelationships of sub‐practices are determined, and a visual analysis is conducted to evaluate their relationships. The findings reveal that five sub‐practices were grouped into a set of causes. Of these, high‐level leadership (G1) is the largest influencing factor, and its support and consideration should be prioritized. The other 10 sub‐practices are classified as a set of effects. Of this set, a well‐governed and effective institutional arrangement (G5) is the most influential practice restricting China's green growth. Additionally, this paper also finds that communicating benefits with stakeholders (G7) is strongly related to other sub‐practices, and is the top factor contributing to the success of China's green growth strategy. This study contributes not only to the literature on green growth practices in an emerging economy but also to giving decision‐makers and researchers inside and outside China valuable inspiration and references for improving the performance of green growth practices.

“…To the best of our knowledge, few evaluation methods have been proposed to deal with the evaluation issues relating to green mines. Shang et al [6] recommended the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method for assessing the performance of green mines in China. Wang and Zou [7] evaluated the performance of green mines using data envelopment analysis.…”

“…Xu et al [8] proposed a multiexpert assessment model for the performance evaluation of green mine in the Huafeng coal mine. As mentioned above, the evaluation information in these pieces of literature [6][7][8] was crisp numbers. This study aimed to use HFSs for obtaining qualitative evaluation results.…”

“…With increasing awareness of resource and environment crises, the concept of sustainable mining has gradually received extensive attention. On this basis, the idea of green mines, which indicates a scientific resource development and utilization model with minimized depletion and environmental disturbance, has been proposed [6]. The construction of green mines can help mines protect the ecological environment, improve resource efficiency, and avoid conflicts with the community during the mining life cycle.…”

“…On account of the diversity of criteria, the performance assessment of green mines is regarded as a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) issue. Some assessment approaches have been proposed to solve this kind of problem, such as fuzzy comprehensive evaluation [6], data envelopment analysis [7], and minimum cross entropy methods [8]. However, the assessment values in these approaches are indicated with real numbers.…”

Assessing the Performance of Green Mines via a Hesitant Fuzzy ORESTE–QUALIFLEX Method

Due to various environmental issues caused by resource exploitation, establishing green mines is an essential measure to realize sustainable growth for mining companies. This research aimed to develop a novel methodology to evaluate the performance of green mines within hesitant fuzzy conditions. First, hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) were used to express original fuzzy assessment values. Then, the extended expert grading approach and the modified maximum deviation method with HFNs were combined to determine comprehensive importance degrees of criteria. Afterward, the traditional qualitative flexible (QUALIFLEX) method was integrated with the Organísation, rangement et synthèse de données relationnelles (ORESTE) model to achieve the rankings of mines. Finally, the proposed hesitant fuzzy ORESTE–QUALIFLEX approach was utilized to evaluate the performance of green mines. In addition, the robustness of the method was verified by a sensitivity analysis, while the effectiveness and strengths were certified by a comparison analysis. The results indicate that the proposed methodology has great robustness and advantages and that it is feasible and effective for the performance evaluation of green mines under hesitant fuzzy environment.

The World Bank has been inserting capital in various developing states at the onset of the decolonization period. The nature of this involvement within the context of extractives in these spaces remains understudied through the postcolonial lens. This study fills this void by examining the World Bank's Climate Smart Mining and counter‐responses by the Khuthala Environmental Care Group. Utilizing Said's Imaginative Geographies and discourse analysis, this study shows that the World Bank's CSM documents reproduce the development rhetoric of the 1950s and these values are not shared by local communities. This research suggests that the World Bank needs to substantively alter its agenda for meaningful social and ecological reform.
