Abstract: This study examines the complex relationships among trade liberalization, effective use of natural resources, and digital commerce, particularly on data from China from 2010 to 2022. It analyses sustainable factors driven by resource exploitation, such as carbon emissions, adoption of renewable energy, and ecological integrity, using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). It is critical to comprehend how trade openness and digital commerce affect resource efficiency in an era characterized by resource scarcity and environmental concerns. When properly managed, they can promote global resource conservation and sustainable technology. The potential of trade laws and digitization tactics to encourage resource conservation, stimulate economic growth, and alleviate resource shortages is highlighted in this abstract. It highlights their part in advancing a resource-efficient and ecologically sustainable future.
