Multifaceted natural resources and green energy transformation for sustainable industrial development

Climate change is the most phenomenal challenge to humanity,and its roots are intervened with unsustainable industrialization,exercising overexploitation of natural resources.Therefore,the departure from non-renewable to renewables has become inevitable,though thought-provoking.In this respect,we explore how green energy transformation moderates the impacts of multifaceted natural resources on sustainable industrial development in the presence of other covariates involving technological progress,financial development,and economic progress.We compiled data from Group of Seven(G-7)members over the 19952018 period and applied panel quantile regression(PQREG)to capture the effects across varying levels of quantiles of sustainable industrial development.Results revealed a positive role of natural gas rents,while coal,forest,and total natural resource rents contributed adverse implications for sustainable industrial development.However,the green energy transformation proved to be the game changer because it not only directly induced sustainable industrial development improvement but also turned the unfavorable effects of coal,forest,and total natural resources into favorable ones by interacting with those multifaceted natural resources.Technological,financial,and economic progress supported sustainable industrial development in G-7 nations,particularly in members with existing middle and upper scales of sustainable industrial development.These findings are robust enough when subjected to different estimation tools.In light of these outcomes,the interaction between green energy transformation and natural resource policy is inevitably critical to attaining natural resource efficiency for sustainable industrial development.Therefore,it is imperative to establish a close policy coordination between advancing green energy technology and allocating natural resource revenue to achieve sustainable development goals(SDGs),with a particular emphasis on SDG-7 and SDG-13。

Taking Coordinated and Joint Action to Promote the Green Development of the Economy and the Society

The green development is the latest economic and social development philosophy that is proposed to cope with the gradual deterioration of current ecological environment, and it aims to achieve the comprehensive greenization of the economy and the society. To promote the green development of the economy and the society, we must look far and aim high, and we must take a holistic approach, coordinate the strategic measures in the fields of the economy, the politics, the culture, the society, the natural environment, and international cooperation, as well as emphasize the logic, the connection, and the hierarchy of different systems, then establish a synergetic mechanism of the green development so that various measures will be coordinated and brought forward to maximize the effect in the joint effort of promoting the green transformation of the economy and the society.

Exploring the “Green” Transformation Planning of Industrial Parks in the Era of Low Carbon Economy

The core function of the low carbon economy is to change the economic development trend of the whole society. It is necessary to carry out industrial transformation and upgrading according to the concept of sustainable development and to realize integrated technological innovation and efficient economic development without violating the law of ecological and environmental development. In the era of the low-carbon economy, industrial parks should solidly promote the green transformation planning process. Relying on the basic logical framework of green transformation of industrial parks, it can build a green development quality evaluation system of industrial parks and formulate a green planning mechanism and green economic cycle development model in line with the background of the low-carbon economy.

China's agriculture green development: from concept to actions

China has initiated a green transformation plan in 2015, which was soon applied to agriculture, known as the agriculture green development(AGD)initiative, with the goals of achieving food security, high resource use efficiency, and an ecofriendly environment. To assess the agricultural transformation from 1997 to 2020, this paper proposes a national-scale indicator system consisting three dimensions(socioeconomic, food production and eco-environmental) and ten sub-dimensions to quantify the AGD score.This study showed that AGD score in China was at a moderate level during 1997–2010, scoring 40 out of 100. During this stage, decreased scores in the sub-dimensions of resource consumption, environmental quality, and environmental cost have offset the improvement in the socioeconomic dimension, resulting in fluctuated scores around 40. In the second stage(2011–2020), China's AGD score improved but still at moderate level, scoring an average of 46.3, with each dimension increasing by 5.3%–25.0%. These results indicate that China has made progress in the agricultural transformation, transitioning from conceptualization to actions through the implementation of various policies and projects. However, the study emphasizes the need for more effort to address the insufficient and unbalanced development, along with the growing eco-environmental challenges, especially the trade-offs among dimensions.

Measurement on the Construction Level of China's Green, Low-Carbon, and Circular-Development Economic System
