Abstract: This study investigates the impact of green finance investments on sustainable development across 30 regions in China from 2005 to 2020, focusing on the role of technological advancement and natural resource efficiency in the context of mineral resource investments. Employing Augmented Mean Group (AMG) and Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCE-MG) methodologies, we explore the complex interactions between technology development, renewable energy integration, and their implications for sustainable development. Our analysis delves into the nuanced relationship between technological progress in natural resource management and its contributions to economic growth and environmental sustainability. The findings underscore the necessity of a holistic resource utilization strategy, highlighting the critical importance of investments in natural resources for enhancing industrial efficiency and fostering socio-economic advancement. We advocate for a comprehensive investment approach that melds green finance principles with technological innovations to ensure sustainable development throughout the mineral resource exploitation process.
