“…This study assessed the current green industry conditions in China and the results show that about 8% contribution was done to the socio-economic conditions by a green industry. The number is quite small and even big though improvements are being done; there is a substantial scope for improvement (Chen et al, 2017). This paper states that about 45% of the industry has been adopted with green technology followed by service industry 65%, agriculture industry 55%, manufacturing industry 24%.…”

“…A company should focus on adopting the cutting edge technologies while installing renewable energy and erecting the business in a way that green principles are embedded in the earlier stages of planning (UNIDO, 2011). Chen et al (2017) showed that a green industry can make big improvements in a country"s socio-economic development and provides a favourable condition for a sustainable industrial development. This study assessed the current green industry conditions in China and the results show that about 8% contribution was done to the socio-economic conditions by a green industry.…”

Green industry initiative is a major driver towards sustainable industrial development around the world. Bangladesh economy has been targeting a middle-income status by 2021, and for such development to occur, a sustainable development is required, for which a green industry is one of the major drivers. This paper presents an overview of the current scenario of the initiatives taken for a green industry and tries to examine the social economic and environment benefit. This paper also discusses major prerequisites of green buildings as location and transportation, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation, regional priority. Apart from these, other opportunities are also discussed in this paper. Bangladesh Government and Bangladesh Bank are also adopting some policies for this development. Finally, some policy suggestions towards an efficient green financing policy for the better nourishment of green

“…All the provincial governments have taken regulatory actions to close polluting enterprises (such as small power plants and paper mills), limit the development of polluting industries (such as the iron/steel industry and coal industry), increase the intensity of punishment for illegal pollution and emission and make more strict policies to regulate and supervise individuals' and enterprises' environmental behaviors since the era of the 11th Five-Year Plan [49]. Provincial governments also made policies to offer financial subsidies to encourage the development of clean energy industries such as wind and solar power stations, encourage the development of green/clean industries without serious pollution and emission, and encourage the upgrading of environmental protection equipment in traditional industries [50]. Besides direct financial subsidies, the government also used administrative approaches such as setting and supporting good examples for energy saving and protecting the environment.…”

“…This change matched the trend of the reduction of government investment in industrial solid waste disposal from 2009 to 2015. One reason should be that the Chinese government has taken various policies and approaches for solid waste disposal since the National Environmental Protection "12th Five-Year Plan" [50]. Resource use policy is no longer the single choice for provincial governments to process industrial solid waste.…”

China meets increasingly serious solid waste problems and has adopted various policies in response in recent years. Meanwhile, few studies have investigated the performance of solid waste disposal through statistical analysis with empirical data. This study examines provincial resource use policy's influence on the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste in Chinese cities. Through comparing results for statistical analysis in the year 2009 and 2015 by multiple linear regression analysis, this study analyzes similarities and differences in the drivers for solid waste disposal in the era of the 11th Five-Year Plan and the 12th Five-Year Plan in China. It finds that the adoption of resource use policy positively increases the comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste. Other factors such as industrial SO 2 emission, local environmental regulations, GDP per capita, population density and educational level also affect industrial solid waste disposal. Therefore, China should continue implementing solid waste disposal policies, upgrade current industrial systems, push forward economic and social reform and increase environmental education to enhance the effectiveness of solid waste disposal for long-term sustainable development.

Green growth as a pathway toward sustainable development: A systems thinking on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau in China

Green growth gained traction as a global climate change strategy and pathway toward sustainable development. China's green growth has been on the rise since the turn of the century, yet it is little understood in the context of its provinces. Previous studies focus on ranking green growth across countries and regions, not on assessing individual provinces over time. This study employs systems thinking and constructs an index framework to assess the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of green growth as a pathway toward sustainable development in Qinghai on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. The study finds that green growth has steadily increased between 2000 and 2021 despite a volatile growth rate. The 10th–13th Five‐Year Plans showed similar trends. Short‐term green growth performance fluctuated in its dimensions and pillars, while long‐term performance increased steadily. Qinghai is well‐positioned to achieve sustainable development and build a circular economy. The study further discusses sustainable policy implications.
