Nations are confronted with a significant challenge in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving the SDGs pertaining to social sustainability, economic sustainability, and environmental sustainability poses the greatest challenge due to various interconnected factors. The present study investigates the influence of green finance on sustainable infrastructure, innovation in green technology, corporate social responsibility, economic stability, and environmental conservation within the framework of Belt and Road initiative (BRI) funding, particularly focusing on its application in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) initiatives. A questionnaire served as the primary instrument for data collection. The study gathered data from a diverse sample comprising businessmen, CPEC officials, representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency, Ministry of Planning and Development. In this study, the PLS 4 was employed to examine associations and test hypotheses. The findings suggest a significant impact of green finance on both sustainable infrastructure and green technology innovation. Furthermore, the results underscore the vital role of environmentally friendly technology and sustainable infrastructure in advancing the SDGs across social, economic, and environmental dimensions. The study's results can help policymakers in other countries collaborate on similar projects to boost economic growth and environmental sustainability. This involves integrating green technologies, sustainable infrastructure, and green finance practices.

“…When studying the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), scholars found that the project provides more employment opportunities for local residents (Mahmood et al, 2020) [7]. Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously delayed the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which has had an impact on the stability and sustainable development of the regional economy (Mahmood et al, 2023) [8]. Although few researchers have studied the impact of new infrastructure on the regional entrepreneurship level using urban level data across China, there is a basic consensus in academia on the promoting effect of new infrastructure, especially information infrastructure, on entrepreneurship.…”

Entrepreneurship has always been regarded as an important economic activity that promotes sustainable economic development, enlivens markets and social transactions, and cultivates entrepreneurial spirit. As a unique concept in China’s economic development, new infrastructure has been widely disseminated and practiced and has also contributed to urban development and sustainable economic growth. However, there is little research by scholars on whether there is a causal relationship between the two, that is, whether new infrastructure will affect the level of regional entrepreneurship in sustainable economic development. This article used panel data from 267 cities in China between 2011 and 2017 to examine the impact of new infrastructure on regional entrepreneurial activities. Research has found that the construction of new infrastructure, especially information infrastructure, significantly promotes regional entrepreneurship. This study explored mechanisms such as human capital agglomeration and alleviating financing constraints. This study also found that the impact of new infrastructure on entrepreneurship varies based on the urban administrative level and region, with a more significant impact on central cities and central and western regions. This study will help researchers discover and understand the role of new infrastructure in regional entrepreneurship while promoting sustainable economic development.

“…The aim of this research is to enhance to the body of knowledge already existing on the glass cliff effect, particularly in the context of crisis management during the Covid-19 pandemic [26][27][28][29]. The focus would be on countries with poor governance systems, like Pakistan [30,31], where women and minorities may face additional barriers and biases when taking on leadership roles during times of crisis.…”

This research investigates the glass cliff effect and the positions held by women in leadership roles, focusing on their impact on operational liquidity. The study delves into the relationship between corporate governance attributes and operational liquidity in 60 non-financial companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange during Covid-19. Utilizing Quine-McCluskey technique and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), it examines the combined effect of Women on the Board, Board Size, Ownership by Blockholders, Board Qualifications and Busy Directors on Operational Liquidity. The necessary condition analysis (NCA) emphasises that firms can operate without reliance on any particular variable taken in the study. The sufficiency analysis provided an expanded understanding of the three conditions leading to the same outcome both before and during the pandemic. This research highlights the significance of the glass cliff effect and emphasizes the pivotal role of women in effectively managing liquidity during times of crisis. Additionally, it provides valuable insights for policymakers regarding the impact of Covid-19 on the interplay between corporate governance characteristics and operational liquidity.
