“…The Kuznets Curve theory also suggests that as countries develop, their income level and environmental quality exhibit an inverted U-shaped relationship [5,49]. Initially, pollution and carbon emissions tend to increase, but beyond a certain income threshold, they start to decrease [2]. This theory implies that when a country's productive capacities index is low, it may be at a stage where economic activities are less efficient and more carbon-intensive [50].…”

“…There are various international frameworks and agreements regarding climate change on a global scale, such as the SDGs, the Paris Agreement, and the 26th Climate Change Conference. In line with the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs), countries are taking action to achieve their carbon reduction goals [2]. Environmental preservation and climatic changes are closely interconnected with several SDGs outlined by the United Nations.…”

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) represents a substantial development strategy spearheaded by China. Its central aim is to foster connectivity across a vast geographical area that includes countries spanning Asia, Europe, and Africa. This project played a pivotal role to develop the region on the one side and also raised serious environmental concerns on the other side. There is extensive literature explored the various dimensions affecting the environment in BRI partner countries but there is hardly any study examining the impact of productive capacities, energy poverty, FDI, urbanization, and institutional quality on CO2 emission in the BRI region. Moreover, pollution halo impact is also explored so this study used panel data of 52 nations engaged in the BRI covering time span of 2001–2022 by applying OLS, Difference GMM, System GMM, Cross sectional-ARDL techniques. The results suggest that enhancing productive capacities, FDI and institutional quality significantly reduces carbon emissions in the region, while energy poverty, urbanization and economic growth is linked to higher carbon emissions. Moreover, ‘pollution halo effect’ is proved because of adoption of eco-friendly technologies through foreign corporations lead to reduction in carbon emission. The study advocates for policy measures that emphasize the promotion of productive capacities, the utilization of renewable energy sources, the adoption of practices regarding sustainable urban development, the implementation of efficient institutional structure, and inflow of eco-friendly technology through FDI.

This research delves into whether access to natural resources is a blessing or a curse, a matter of contention within contemporary literature. Lacking conclusive evidence, particularly within the G‐20 countries, this study endeavors to establish the intricate linkages between economic development, natural resources, and economic complexity. A subset of G‐20 economies from 1990 to 2021 was used to analyze the results of the second‐generation CS‐ARDL model. After accounting for variables like corruption, total labor force, gross capital formation, trade openness, and inflow of foreign direct investment, we find that natural resources, economic complexity, corruption and gross capital formation are significant and adverse predictors of economic growth. Natural resource dependence is susceptible to price fluctuations and sustainability concerns, economic complexity may introduce market volatility challenges, corruption erodes trust and transparency, and excessive gross capital formation can lead to economic imbalances. On the other hand, economic growth is positively impacted by the additional effects of the control variables, including foreign direct investment, trade openness and labor force. In crafting its policy recommendations, this study artfully weaves a tapestry that resonates with the core principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These strategic imperatives include the adept stewardship of resources, the cultivation of economic diversity, the seamless facilitation of trade, the fortification against corruption, and a harmonious symphony that underscores financial stability and the nurturing of human capital, ultimately painting a vivid portrait of sustainable economic growth.

In order to better understand the impact of green technology mergers and acquisitions (GTMA) on sustainable development, the difference‐in‐differences model is applied to investigate the direct impact and underlying mechanisms of GTMA on the environment, society, and governance (ESG) in China. Additionally, we established a two‐dimensional framework of “market versus government” to analyze the heterogeneity. The results show that: (1) GTMA is positively aligned with greater ESG performance, indicating that GTMA is an effective way to enhance sustainable development. (2) GTMA fosters ESG performance by boosting green subsidies (i.e., signal transmission channel), lowering financing costs (i.e., impression management channel), and enhancing green innovation (i.e., technology synergy channel). (3) The positive relationship is largely dependent on the collaborative supervision environment (i.e., “strong” market and “strong” government) and the appropriate policy environment (i.e., “big” market and “small” government). (4) Furthermore, GTMA carries significant spillover effects, with other enterprises in the same industry improving their ESG performance. Additionally, this paper proposes targeted directions for the government and enterprises to take advantage of GTMA dividends to realize superior ESG performance.
