“…The chain-wide effects on water, nitrogen, phosphorus, and biomass (HANPP) consumption exhibit a significant degree of heterogeneity due to regional differences in dietary composition. In order to determine the effects of the various sectors (Cheng et al, 2024;Meng et al, 2021;Ogunmoroti et al, 2022) and create suitable policy suggestions (Cheng et al, 2023;Tahir et al, 2022), this calls for the construction of more accurate input-output tables. Therefore, further consideration will also be given to this in the future, as data allows.…”

As human consumption expands, four environmental footprints (EFs) exceed the planetary boundaries (PBs) at the global scale. Managing absolute environmental sustainability (AES) based on PBs and EFs at the subnational level is crucial for policy insights. However, a consumption‐based AES management framework still needs to be developed. A framework, including five nexus environmental pressures embodied in the supply chain, was developed and tested in our study across China's 30 provinces to address this knowledge gap. The framework involved three steps: (a) assessing AES for five environmental pressures, (b) measuring environmental surplus and overshoot and composition of EFs, and (c) identifying priority areas for AES management. The results showed that only some provinces are sustainable for three impact‐oriented indicators, especially those with larger populations. Moreover, the embodied environmental pressure mainly flows from the Northwest to Southeast China. For two resource‐oriented indicators, over 74% of provinces are absolutely sustainable. From a nexus perspective, Shandong and Shanghai are identified as priorities for AES management due to their low IESI values of 0.32, 0.33, and 0.40, respectively, which means the worst performance. To improve their IESI, Shanghai needs to control the consumption of blue water‐intensive products, while Shandong and Henan should consume fewer CO2 emissions and N‐ and P‐loss‐intensive products. This framework can clarify subnational responsibilities of environmental overshoots, guide sustainable development, and be widely used at the subnational level in countries worldwide.

Green economic growth is the main focus in achieving sustainable development throughout the world. This study aims to conduct a global analysis of fiscal spending, institutional quality, and stock markets in relation to green economic growth. Through a holistic approach, this research explores the complex relationship between these three factors and their impact on sustainable economic growth. By considering various relevant variables and indicators, this study provides an in-depth understanding of the factors influencing the transition to a green economy. Well-directed fiscal spending can encourage investment in green technologies and green infrastructure, while good institutional quality ensures effective and fair policy implementation. Additionally, the stock market plays an important role in providing capital to companies focused on green innovation. It is hoped that the results of this analysis will provide valuable insights for policy makers, economic practitioners and other stakeholders in designing sustainable and environmentally friendly economic development strategies. The findings of this study show that synergy between prudent fiscal policy, strong institutions, and dynamic stock markets is critical to driving green economic growth. Thus, this study has the potential to make a significant contribution to advancing the sustainable development agenda at the global level. The resulting conclusions can form the basis for strategic decision-making that supports the transition to a green economy, as well as help direct investment and public policy in a more sustainable direction.
