The study looked at how using green strategies like green growth and green trade in China can affect the use of natural resources like coal, gas, and oil. By analyzing data from 1980 to 2020, the researchers found that when China focuses on green growth and green trade, it can lead to more efficient use of resources. This means that by using less coal, which causes air pollution, China can reduce environmental harm and still grow economically. The study suggests that by using natural resources more wisely, China can have a positive impact on both the environment and the economy.
