Strategies for the sustainable development of China in the post‐epidemic era

Abstract

Countries around the world are facing enormous challenges in their economic and social development as COVID-19 continues to spread, resulting in slower economic recovery in the post-pandemic era. Considering the impact of economic growth on future sustainable development in this new era, green economic recovery (GER) can achieve a win-win situation between economic recovery and environmental improvement and bring forth environmentally sustainable economic growth. This research first lists related COVID-19 literature surveys and GER policies in the post-pandemic era in China. Based on a comparative study of the international experience of GER policy practices, this paper then analyzes the opportunities and challenges China faces for GER and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions on how to promote its sustainable development in the post-epidemic era. We believe our research presents useful enlightenments for sustainable economic and social development in the post-epidemic era.

Student financial support and sustainable recovery based on fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process comprehensive method

“…Scholars looked at the sustainable recovery from various perspectives in the post pandemic era. Zhao et al ( 2022 ) analyzed the opportunities and challenges China faces for sustainable recovery on the basis of a comparative study of green economic recovery policy practices across the globe. It then offers solutions and recommendations for how to advance China's sustainable development in the post-epidemic era.…”

Green finance, environment regulation, and industrial green transformation for corporate social responsibility

“…Regarding green finance's effects, the literature has mostly examined how it affects economic growth (Levine, 2005; Yang et al, 2021), environmental quality (Abanyie et al, 2023; Hariyani et al, 2023; Hussain et al, 2023; Mgomezulu et al, 2023; Raihan et al, 2023; Sui & Yao, 2023; Tang et al, 2023; Wang et al, 2023; Zhang, Li, et al, 2021; Zhou et al, 2020), green economy (Chin et al, 2022), industrial upgrading (Wang, Cai, & Elahi, 2021; Wang, Cui, & Zhao, 2021), enterprise investment and financing (Gilbert & Zhou, 2017; Yu et al, 2021), enterprise performance (Huang et al, 2021), enterprise green technology innovation (Yin et al, 2022; Zhang et al, 2022), and performance and risk of financial institutions (Cui et al, 2018; Guan et al, 2017; Lian et al, 2022). In parallel, academics have investigated the forces behind the industrial green revolution from the perspective of environmental regulation (ER) (Peng et al, 2021; Tang et al, 2020; Wang & Shen, 2016), technological innovation (Fu et al, 2022; Hao et al, 2023; Luo et al, 2022; Peng et al, 2022; Wang & Tan, 2021; Wen et al, 2023; Xue et al, 2022; Yang et al, 2022; Yin et al, 2022; Zhao et al, 2022; Zhao et al, 2023; Zheng et al, 2022), and trade openness (Xu et al, 2019). As can be observed, there are several studies on the effects of green finance alone or the motivating forces behind IGTFP, but the debate on how these two topics correlate is still in the early stages of exploration.…”

Evaluating Whether and How Public Health Event Information Frameworks Promote Pro-Environmental Behavior

“…Public health and environmental sustainability are two of the major challenges facing the world in the 21st century [ 1 ]. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020, poses a serious threat to human health and also seriously disturbs normal production and life worldwide [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. The COVID-19 pandemic is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as constituting a “public health emergency of international concern”.…”
