This study aims to understand the synergistic evolution of the green and digital economies towards sustainable development. Previous research lacked quantitative analysis, which hindered the development of a comprehensive understanding. An evaluation index system is established using the CRITIC and entropy weight combination methods. The TOPSIS model is utilized to evaluate indicators and derive a comprehensive development index for both economies. The LSTM-GM model is employed to predict the evolutionary trends for the next five years. The absolute grey correlation model is applied to analyze historical and future synergistic evolutionary trends. Findings show increasing levels of green and digital economic development. The digital economy promotes green economic development by enhancing efficiency through innovation and upgrades. The green economy facilitates the structural adjustment of the digital economy by reducing emissions and enhancing resource utilization. Predictions indicate a steady growth in both economies and an increasing synergistic evolution. Based on the analysis, policy recommendations are proposed to promote the integration and development of the digital and green economies, facilitating high-quality synergistic growth.

Utilizing Fourier autoregressive distributed lag and Fourier Toda–Yamamoto causality methodologies, this research assesses the effects that renewable energy consumption and environmental policy had on the economic sustainability of China from 1991 to 2022. Our findings highlight the positive impacts of renewable energy use and stringent environmental policies on China’s economic growth, while also pinpointing the supportive roles played by foreign direct investment, trade openness, and financial sector evolution in fostering a sustainable economic environment. Conversely, a reliance on fossil fuels emerges as a significant barrier to sustainability. Causality tests confirm the essential roles of renewable energy and environmental policies in advancing China’s economic sustainability. This study underscores the critical need for integrating sustainable energy and environmental strategies within China’s economic development framework, advocating for a holistic policy approach that balances economic growth with environmental conservation. This research underscores the imperative for a sustainability-centered strategy for China’s economic advancement.

“…This notion is expanded upon in studies by Beauchampet and Walsh [80], Newell et al [81], and Chilvers et al [82], which focus on how public engagement and community involvement can expedite the transition process. Additionally, Cambini et al [83], Andersen et al [84], Munro and Cairney [85], and Li and Taeihagh [86] investigate the interplay between policy and technology in energy transitions, analyzing how governmental policies can either facilitate or impede the integration of innovative energy technologies. Chen et al [87], Erin Bass and Grøgaard [88], and Isoaho and Karhunmaa [89] shift the focus to the long-term environmental implications of energy transitions, shedding light on the sustainability of current renewable energy approaches.…”

This paper presents an empirical investigation into the effects of energy transition and digitization on carbon dioxide emissions, serving as a proxy for environmental sustainability, across 28 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2021. Utilizing both static and dynamic regression analyses, the study reveals a significant driving effect of the energy transition on environmental sustainability, primarily through a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Notably, this influence is more pronounced in the eastern region of China, followed by the central and western regions, indicating regional heterogeneity in the impact of the energy transition. Furthermore, digitization is found to have a substantial moderating effect, enhancing energy conservation and emission reductions. As digitization progresses, its capability to diminish the impact of energy transitions on carbon dioxide emissions becomes more apparent, particularly in the eastern region, while this effect is less marked in central and western China. The study also delves into the nonlinear relationship between energy transitions and carbon dioxide emissions, discovering that increased levels of digitization can exacerbate the negative effects of energy transitions on emissions. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of energy transition and digitalization, highlighting their crucial roles in shaping environmental sustainability in China.
