The research reveals that the strategic and environmentally conscious management of resources positively impacts the economic growth of BRICS countries. The study highlights the importance of specific policy interventions, urging a coordinated effort to promote sustainable resource practices. This research contributes to the literature on sustainable development and environmentally conscious economic growth by providing detailed and sophisticated insights into the underlying dynamics. It is a solid basis for making well-informed policy decisions in the changing global context. UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resourpol.2024.104867 ID - discovery10193993 EP - 8 ER -
