“…Calculate using commonly used methods such as the method, use the characteristic root method to find the corresponding element weights, and then conduct a consistency test. Finally, perform a total hierarchical sorting to obtain the weight of each indicator relative to the overall goal [30,31]. Furthermore, QSPM uses quantitative assessment to evaluate the competitiveness and attractiveness of different strategies composed of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to facilitate strategic decision-makers to make optimal strategic choices.…”

The wellness economy has developed rapidly recently, particularly in wellness tourism. Wellness tourism transforms sustainable strategy through the availability of extended multi-actor engagement in service innovation to further the tourism experience. Therefore, when operating a wellness tourism destination, it is necessary to encourage multi-actor engagement in service innovation to achieve sustainable development. This paper introduces a mixed research method with the SWOT-AHP-QSPM, as it qualitatively analyzes the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and threats, constructs an evaluation index system, conducts quantitative analysis using the analytic hierarchy process, determines the index weight and weighted score, and calculate the sustainable development strategy, which is appropriate for wellness development of Chongqing Tea Mountain and Bamboo Forest National Forest Park. Purposive field surveys and personal interviews were conducted in Chongqing forest tourism destinations, involving 356 effective respondents. The research reveals that multi-actor engagement significantly enhances sustainable development. These findings bridge service innovation knowledge gaps and provide valuable insights for forest tourism destination management and sustainable policy strategies to elevate multi-actor engagement in forest sites.

“…For instance, PCRET might provide explicit research findings from a field-developed model, and AEDB could employ this information to construct the optimum regulatory framework conceivable. 59 In situations in which utility companies are owned and operated by the private sector such as Independent Power Producers (IPPs), a comprehensive and effective regulatory structure becomes even more imperative.…”

In recent years, the environmental and economic consequences of coal, gasoline and other conventional energy sources have been widely discussed. Currently, Pakistan's energy output is highly dependent on these resources; as a consequence, the country is facing a severe energy crisis. The government spends more than $3.7 billion annually on fossil fuel imports, which has a significant impact on an already vulnerable economy. Moreover, the country is ranked as the seventh-most impacted region by climate change, making it critical for the government to take proactive measures. Renewable energy that is both economical and sustainable will become a realistic and viable choice for satisfying Pakistan's current and future energy demands. This article provides a detailed overview of Pakistan's long-standing energy scarcity concerns and discusses the country's current renewable energy challenges and opportunities. Additionally, Pakistan's efforts in the realm of renewable energy are compared to those of other Asian nations in order to understand how these countries are advancing renewable energy sources. Numerous statistics show that despite government initiatives, the amount of power generated from renewable sources falls short of the Indicative Generation Capacity Expansion Plan’s (IGCEP’s) 2025 and 2030 targets. Achieving these aspirational targets will require competent policies, incentives, technological expertise and substantial political and financial commitments. Hence, this article also advised policymakers and city municipalities on how to enhance energy infrastructure, knowledge and the capacity for overcoming future challenges. In contrast, the development of renewable energy in Pakistan has been an extremely successful endeavour, but an effective and efficient approach is necessary to leverage the benefits of rapid progress.

“…According to these findings, energy consumption and government-funded research and development are linked in the long term, and public funding for energy research is linked to reduced consumption in the short term. Qaiser (2022) examined the relationship between public energy R&D and CO2 emissions per unit of GDP and its two components: energy intensity and carbonization factor, using panel data for 13 developed economies from 1980 to 2004. From 1980 to 2004, researchers worked on this project.…”

Over time environmental degradation has become a severe concern globally, especially in China. Therefore, to solve this serious issue, environmental economists have tried their best to explain the crux of environmental degradation. Besides such efforts, they have not reached a single opinion. Nowadays, economic progress has been considered a primary target to compete with other nations at any cost of environmental degradation. But, there may be some alternative solutions to reduce such costs, and the existing literature has not considered such core indicators. Thus, the present study assesses the eco-friendly variables for a sustainable environment in which green finance, green energy, and research and development expenditures. Moreover, this study also focuses on socio-economic factors like economic growth, urbanization, and openness. Time series estimators such as fully modified ordinary least square and Markov switching regression model are employed to investigate selected variables’ long-run impact on carbon emissions. The estimated outcomes show the significant contribution of green finance, green energy, openness, and R&D expenditures to environmental quality. Likewise, China’s urbanization and economic progress are harmful to environmental quality. Moreover, this study investigates the causal association between the selected variables and shows the two-way causal association between openness and emissions, RE and openness, and green finance and R&D expenditures. The results of the uni-directional association are also interesting. The current study develops some interesting policy implications for a sustainable environment on behalf of empirical outcomes.
