Do artificial intelligence, institutional quality, and natural resources encourage green growth in the G-20 states? An insight-based wavelet analysis under the SDGs framework

Key Points

• Green growth is significantly influenced by the interplay of artificial intelligence and natural resources in G-20 states, and institutional quality plays a crucial role.
• Strong correlations were found using wavelet analysis, with the emphasis on data from multiple G-20 countries over recent years.
• Observational analysis across G-20 states reveals connections between institutional quality and sustainability efforts, highlighting significant trends in green growth.
• This study indicates that enhancing institutional quality and leveraging AI could promote greener economies, though limitations in data might affect wider applicability.
