Abstract: This research investigates the influence of green financial accounting on sustainability within the mining sector across 18 emerging economies from 1995 to 2021. According to the results, a 1% rise in the Corruption Perceptions Index corresponds to a 0.10% and 0.20% increase in short and long-term extraction volumes. Foreign Direct Investment contributes positively to mining extraction. The study emphasizes the positive association between innovation progress, indicated by registered patents, and extraction volume, highlighting the importance of technology adoption. However, the study raises sustainability concerns due to insufficient emphasis on green innovation. Additionally, the research underscores a correlation between Gross Domestic Product growth and extraction volume, signaling the imperative for more environmentally friendly economic development. The proposed practical policies include initiatives such as green accounting education, enhanced social green literacy, improved green governance, and the establishment of green financial markets.
