 Integrating mineral and natural resources for enhanced environmental resilience and sustainabilityShengmiao Han Resources Policy, 2024, vol. 91, issue C Abstract: This study tackles the integration of mineral and natural resources with environmental sustainability in China during 2000–2020, amidst its rapid economic growth and environmental challenges. The aim is to develop an econometric model to assess the sustainability of resource exploitation and its impact on environmental resilience. This involves analyzing data across two decades to understand the relationship between resource use and environmental sustainability. The findings identifies a critical threshold where resource utilization aligns with sustainable environmental outcomes. Findings suggest that strategic policy interventions and investments in green technologies can facilitate a sustainable equilibrium between economic development and environmental preservation. The study highlights the necessity for integrated resource management strategies that support both economic growth and environmental health, indicating that sustainable development is achievable with appropriate policy frameworks and practices in resource-rich settings like China.
