Abstract

This study examines the significant ecological consequences of the correlation between plentiful natural resources and ecological pollution. This study seeks to analyze the influence of natural resources, economic integration, eco-innovation, and clean energy on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) phenomenon within the context of China. The researchers use a state-of-the-art dynamic autoregressive distributive lag (D-ARDL) to examine the dataset from 1981 to 2021. Using this method, they are able to produce models that represent the contributing variables, including both positive and negative elements. According to the findings, ecological degradation tends to slow down when natural resources are used, but environmental health is negatively impacted by economic integration. Maintaining ecological balance is largely dependent on the acceptance of eco-innovations and the promotion of energy efficiency. This research provides actual evidence in favors of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, especially in rapidly developing economies such as China. Furthermore, it promotes the use of strict legal measures as a successful strategy for restoring ecological integrity.
