Evaluating the Contribution of GDP, Technological Advancements, and Renewable Energy Consumption in Carbon Emissions to the Attainment of Sustainable Development Goals: Insights from China

Abstract

    The proposed research examines how renewable energy consumption, GDP, and carbon emission technology affect China's sustainable development goals. The writer utilized OECD and World Bank databases to gather 2000–2020 secondary data. The inferential and descriptive technique assesses the Chinese understanding of how renewable energy consumption, GDP, and technological advancements concern sustainable development goals. In this research effort, the final acquired data were input into SPSS and evaluated to obtain statistical conclusions. SPSS Statistical software has been utilized to calculate the empirical study's results utilizing descriptive statistics, regression analysis, factor analysis, and one-way ANOVA. The study's methodology describes the analysis criteria and recommendations to test hypotheses and achieve goals. This research may stimulate renewable energy consumption, GDP, and technological advancements to mitigate carbon emissions and achieve China's Sustainable Development Goals. Implementing renewable energy initiatives and encouraging constructive economic growth can do this.
