Abstract

This research assesses how resource scarcity and digital finance affect sustainability in ASEAN countries, using data from eight members between 2005 and 2022. The CUP-FM technique highlights that digital banking significantly boosts sustainable energy, with a 1% increase leading to a 0.15% rise in sustainable energy generation. In contrast, a 1% increase in fossil fuel reserves results in a 0.43% decrease in sustainable energy output, underscoring the drawbacks of fossil fuel dependence. Expanding forest areas by 1% correlates with a 0.32% increase in sustainable energy development, stressing the need for forest conservation. Additionally, the presence of SMEs and patent applications are key drivers of sustainable energy, emphasizing the role of innovation. A positive correlation with annual temperature suggests its beneficial impact on green energy. To advance sustainability, ASEAN policymakers should enhance digital finance infrastructure, encourage renewable energy, support forest conservation, foster SMEs and innovation, and integrate climate resilience into energy strategies.

为东盟的可持续未来驾驭资源稀缺和数字金融解决方案

本研究利用 2005 年至 2022 年间八个成员国的数据，评估了资源稀缺和数字金融如何影响东盟国家的可持续发展。银联-调频技术表明，数字银行业务大大促进了可持续能源的发展，每增加 1%，可持续能源发电量就会增加 0.15%。相比之下，化石燃料储量每增加 1%，可持续能源产出就会减少 0.43%，这凸显了依赖化石燃料的弊端。森林面积扩大 1%，可持续能源开发增加 0.32%，这强调了保护森林的必要性。此外，中小型企业的存在和专利申请也是可持续能源发展的主要驱动力，强调了创新的作用。与年气温的正相关性表明，年气温对绿色能源具有有利影响。为推进可持续发展，东盟决策者应加强数字金融基础设施，鼓励可再生能源，支持森林保护，促进中小企业和创新，并将气候适应能力纳入能源战略。

期刊介绍： Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
