Abstract

Mineral sustainability has become a crucial topic for economists in recent decades. This study provides key insights into China's sustainability challenges, particularly regarding ferrous mineral production, economic resilience, and low-carbon transition goals. Using data from 1980 to 2022 analyzed with the ARDL technique, the research highlights significant negative impacts of ferrous mineral production, economic uncertainty, and carbon emissions on green energy progress. This underscores the need for urgent actions to enhance sustainability in the mineral sector and support green energy initiatives. Economic instability hampers long-term green energy development, making economic resilience essential. Sustainable population management is also crucial due to its effects on green energy advancement. Conversely, ICT advancements offer promise for sustainable development. China should implement a comprehensive policy framework focused on sustainable mineral use, carbon reduction, and economic stability, including measures such as promoting electric vehicles and improving green tax efficiency.

中国矿产资源的可持续整合、低碳转型和经济韧性

近几十年来，矿产可持续发展已成为经济学家的一个重要课题。本研究对中国的可持续发展挑战，尤其是黑色金属矿产生产、经济韧性和低碳转型目标提供了重要见解。研究使用 ARDL 技术分析了 1980 年至 2022 年的数据，强调了黑色金属矿产生产、经济不确定性和碳排放对绿色能源发展的重大负面影响。这突出表明，需要采取紧急行动，提高矿产部门的可持续性，支持绿色能源倡议。经济不稳定性阻碍了绿色能源的长期发展，因此经济恢复能力至关重要。可持续的人口管理对绿色能源的发展也至关重要。相反，信息和通信技术的进步为可持续发展带来了希望。中国应实施以矿产可持续利用、碳减排和经济稳定为重点的综合政策框架，包括推广电动汽车和提高绿色税收效率等措施。

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.
