Abstract

This study examines the complex dynamics of waste generation in the context of fossil fuel extraction in China, with a particular emphasis on the impact of initiatives promoting green education. Encompassing the period from 1990 to 2022, our ARDL estimations confirm that a 1% increase in the presence of green educational institutions correlates with a 0.43% reduction in waste volume. Additionally, heightened electricity consumption and increased digitalization contribute to accelerated waste generation, whereas the incorporation of green components through imports incentivizes sustainability. Surprisingly, a rise in income levels is associated with an uptick in waste production, underscoring the intricate balance required for sustainable economic growth. Advocating for a multifaceted policy approach, we recommend heightened commitments to green education, fostering international collaborations, and introducing innovative economic measures to guide China toward sustainable resource extraction.
