“…The design, construction, administration, and maintenance of buildings consume a lot of energy, water, and fresh materials, resulting in a lot of waste that is harmful to human health and the environment. Environmentally sound and resource-efficient structures must be built using green construction systems, which must be designed, specified, understood, and applied (Ali et al, 2021;An et al, 2021;Nawaz et al, 2021aNawaz et al, , 2021bQin et al, 2021). Due to a lack of resources, the world's development needs are being met, and it's becoming clear that unless major changes in human behavior occur, civilization as we know it today is at risk.…”

The study has been investigated on conceptualizing the state of the art of cooperate social responsibility (CSR) in green construction and its nexus to sustainable development. The research objective is to find out the significant relationship between CSR and green construction and further link green construction with sustainable development. The data has been collected from the 319 respondents working on different projects in the construction industry of China. The study is quantitative by nature. SEM analysis with the help of Smart-PLS has been applied to test the hypothesis relationship and mediations between components of CSR, green construction, and sustainable development. Results define that green procurement as a component of green construction strongly mediates between corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, and green design and CO2 emission moderately mediates between corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. This research would add values, benefits, and knowledge toward reducing environmental temperature with the help of green construction occupying the effects of CSR on it. It would be helpful to change the trends in the construction industry to make environmental health protective and to boost the sustainable development.

“…There are two types of digital technologies: information technology (IT) and communication technology (CT). Artificial intelligence (AI), robots, and machine learning are examples of information technology that speed up data processing, minimize the number of tasks, and provide concentration pressure for economic activity ( An et al, 2021 ). The use of CT will also have significant consequences for the inclusivity mandated by the sustainable development goals.…”

The most powerful and crucial concept today is a sustainable digital economy. This research is aimed to investigate the predictors of a sustainable digital economy in China. In addition, the mediating roles of social reforms and economic policies were investigated between good governance and a sustainable digital economy. This cross-sectional research considered partial least square–structural equational modeling (PLS-SEM) as an analysis technique. The data were collected from 317 managerial staff of the e-commerce industry in China via a self-structured questionnaire. A random sampling technique was applied in the data collection process. Results showed that good governance positively impacts the sustainable digital economy, social reforms, and economic policies. Additionally, an increase in social reforms and economic policies led to a sustainable digital economy in China. Social reforms and economic policies partially mediated the relationship between good governance and a sustainable digital economy. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying components of a sustainable digital economy and examining whether good governance may aid in attaining a sustainable digital economy. Nowadays, research on the sustainable digital economy has got attention from policymakers and researchers around the globe. These outcomes suggest several ways to improve the sustainable digital economy in China. This research is not without limitations, such as cross-sectional and based on responses of the respondents. Several research avenues were discussed and can be influenced by many factors for future perspectives.

“…In order to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as per the global climate policies, a radical shift to the usage of renewable energy sources is being advocated all around the globe (Pulido-Fernández et al 2019;Saint Akadiri et al 2019;An et al 2021). The currently available alternative sources are geothermal and ocean energy, bioenergy, hydro, wind, and solar power.…”

We investigate the impact of renewable energy and green practices (RE), transportation services and infrastructure (T.S.), GDP growth (GDP), and forestry and natural resources (AFF) on the sustainable tourism development in the Eastern European Countries (EECs). The study employed cross-sectional dependence and and CIPS unit root test to check stationarity along with the dynamic common correlated effect (DCCE) model proposed by Chudik and Pesaran (2015) to test parameters for ensuring robustness. The outcome of DCCE method suggests that renewable energy (RE), Transport Services (T.S.), Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (AFF), and economic growth (GDP) have a significantly positive impact on international tourism in the sampled countries of Europe. Our findings could be insightful for policymakers and understanding the impact of renewable energy and transportation services on tourism development, and thereby help in taking appropriate policy measures in the sampled countries.
