 Modernization of governance at Chinese universities: Role of fossil fuels and green energy resourceXiaolin Wei and Yunfeng Shang Resources Policy, 2023, vol. 85, issue PB Abstract: By choosing the top 10 Chinese universities, the associations between university governance, the sustainability level of the university, and sustainable power generation are analyzed from 1999 to 2021. The results from the continuously updated, fully modified method confirmed that with a 1% improvement in the sustainability level index, the governance of universities would improve by 0.33%. The inflow of foreign direct investment to the district where the university is located will reduce the level of effectiveness of the governance. The expansion of sustainable electricity generation positively affects the governance level. A 1% increase in the number of students causes a decrease in the governance performance of Chinese universities by 0.08%. Carbon dioxide emission has no significant effect on the universities' governance level. The primary recommended practical policies are developing the participation of universities in green financing markets, boosting green FDI, and improving education for sustainable development (ESD).
