RETRACTED: Measuring the management of natural resources and regional sustainable development: Mediating role of green finance in China

Abstract

China's economic growth is making it difficult to deal with the issue of decreasing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency as the world's largest energy user and supplier. This research, which uses theoretical and empirical studies and chooses 30 provinces panel data from China between 2005 and 2021, demonstrates the impacts of natural resources, technological advancement, and the growth of sustainable energy sources and their methods. The findings indicate that (1) Natural resources significantly promote the growth of renewable energy sources, (2) The development and technological innovations can benefit from using natural resources and (3) The growth of sustainable energy is positively affected by technological improvement. The study provides significant suggestions to assist regions in improving their energy sustainability. The results guide developing nations looking to leverage financial development, green investment and technological innovation in productive areas to achieve sustainable development objectives.

Achieving environmental sustainability goals through capitalizing on renewable energy channels: Role of green finance, resources productivity and geopolitical situation in the MENA region

“…GF is a dynamic, innovative and forward-thinking financial tool designed expressly to address environmental challenges (Tao et al, 2023). Diverse financial policy tools, such as carbon pricing (Najam, 2023), transferable green certificates and green credit, have been proposed to encourage IRE (Kirikkaleli et al, 2023) and support the growth of green financing.…”

“…Countries worldwide are already working together to reduce CO 2 , which may be done in several ways to achieve environmental sustainability (Belgacem et al, 2023). First, there is a need to boost green commitments among the public (Xiao et al, 2022), backed by green financing (Tao et al, 2023) and renewable energy (RE) sources (Ahsan et al, 2020) and reduce the risk factor. It is also critical for industries to shift their reliance from traditional energy channels to renewable ones, which can be done through green innovation .…”

“…GF has been the subject of increasing research from diverse perspectives. Many studies (Farooq et al, 2024;Najam, 2023;Tao et al, 2023) have concentrated on how green financing affects recipient nations' ability to adapt to climate change. Due to the problems with environmental variation, RE has recently garnered a lot of attention in the literature (Azhgaliyeva et al, 2019).…”

Nexus of geoenvironment, resource management and regional sustainable development: Introduction

“…However, benefits from such projects can only be availed of after a substantial time since it is a long‐term investment. Tao and Zhang (2023) and Xu (2023) studied the role of financial development and green finance in managing natural resources and national sustainable development. They mentioned that it significantly influences the relationship between the two variables; thus, nations must promote green finance practices to promote the efficient management of the natural resources and achieve SDGs.…”
