Abstract

The study examines the revolutionary advantages of digital banking and environmentally friendly finance in accelerating the shift to green energy in the BRICS nations. It analyzes the impact of the Natural Resource Governance Index, reasonable funding, the economy, and the use of resources on clean energy sources using state-of-the-art economic methods such as FMOLS, DOLS, FE-OLS, and MMQR. The study finds a strong correlation between the growth of green energy, technological and economic growth, the digital inclusion index, and the usage of natural resources. Blockchain advances and readily available green lending options positively influence the widespread use of environmentally friendly energy practices. The research highlights the significance of protecting the digital inclusion index and advancing environmental management, providing recommendations for tactics that use technology and sustainability funding to support environmentally friendly practices and regulations. The study emphasizes the importance of transitioning to ecologically sound control of natural assets and innovations in finance for environmentally friendly growth.
