“…Eco-friendly finance is an essential component of the transition to sustainability, and its development aims to reinforce particular financial features to enhance environmental quality ( Wei et al, 2022 ). As of this writing, academics have centered on the fundamentals of green finance, such as how to integrate environmental protection into finance ( Tang et al, 2022 ) and how to build green finance operating mechanisms within environmental protection systems ( Sun et al, 2021 ), and the role of government in green finance implementation ( Franco et al, 2021 ). Empirical investigations on the connection between green finance and the environment also play a role in this topic.…”

One of the most frequently used terms in climate change discussions is environmental sustainability. With economic growth and foreign direct investment as moderator factors, this study investigates the influence of green finance and financial development on environmental sustainability and growth in ASEAN economies from 2012 to 2019. ADF and Phillip-Peron (PP) unit root tests, fully modified least square (FMOLS), were employed for long-run empirical estimates. A substantial body of evidence supports the study’s findings using VECM technology. Green financing was negatively associated with CO2 emissions. However, environmental sustainability in ASEAN is favorably associated with green financing. It is also worth noting that green financing promotes environmental sustainability at the expenditure of economic growth. Financial development, foreign direct investment, R&D investment, and green technology foster economic expansion at the price of environmental sustainability. There are still many fences to green finance that need to be addressed, including pricing CO2 emissions and reforming inefficient nonrenewable fossil fuel subsidies. Local governments play a vital role in eliminating these barriers and addressing disincentives. It is recommended that policymakers push the financial sector to adopt a green finance strategy to further the goals of long-term sustainable development. Industry must integrate multiple objectives, such as inclusive growth and environmental protection and productivity, through an even broader range of legislative frameworks ideal for decoupling growth from social and ecological unsustainability, at the heart of the green manufacturing process.

“…Because of heterogeneity and cross-section dependence, traditional approaches such as first difference estimation are not appropriate. The generalized method of moments (GMM), random effects, and fixed effects are not permitted ( 77 , 78 ). This study will use a recently developed approach known as the cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lags model (CS-ARDL) to obtain short-run and long-run estimate results ( 79 ).…”

Environmental regulation is a tool for teaching social and fiscal development that is carbon neutral. The highly polluting food industry in China is a threat to the country's long-term environmental stability and affects public health in a significant way. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of environmental parameters on environmental quality in China's food industry using the cross-sectionally augmented ARDL (CS-ARDL) model over the period of 2010 to 2019. We find that environmental regulations negatively and significantly impact environmental quality. The U-shape relationship exists between environmental regulation and environmental quality. Moreover, government expenditure on health and technological innovation reduces carbon emissions. The study's findings suggest new policy implications supporting the Porter Hypothesis. Finally, this paper offers policy suggestions for China's food industry to enhance its environmental performance.

At present, the integration of green building, the intelligent building industry and high-quality development are facing a series of new opportunities and challenges. This review aims to analyze the digital development of smart green buildings to make it easier to create contiguous ecological development areas in green ecological cities. It sorts out the main contents of Intelligent Green Buildings (IGB) and summarizes the application and role of Digital Twins (DTs) in intelligent buildings. Firstly, the basic connotations and development direction of IGB are deeply discussed, and the current realization and applications of IGB are analyzed. Then, the advantages of DTs are further investigated in the context of IGB for DT smart cities. Finally, the development trends and challenges of IGB are analyzed. After a review and research, it is found that the realization and application of IGB have been implemented, but the application of DTs remains not quite integrated into the design of IGB. Therefore, a forward-looking design is required when designing the IGBs, such as prioritizing sustainable development, people’s livelihoods and green structures. At the same time, an IGB can only show its significance after the basic process of building the application layer is performed correctly. Therefore, this review contributes to the proper integration of IGB and urban development strategies, which are crucial to encouraging the long-term development of cities, thus providing a theoretical basis and practical experience for promoting the development of smart cities.
