Abstract

In today's era, environmental concerns are given equal importance to economic growth to attain sustainability. By implementing economic strategies, we can achieve economic enrichment, while adopting pollution prevention practices can lead to environmental and economic improvements. Therefore, this study examines the impact of pollution prevention practices on the economic and environmental sustainability of nine Asian countries. This study utilizes data from selected economically thriving Asian countries and employs the ARDL approach using EViews v10 for estimation. This study holds great significance for these states, as they are the most vulnerable to global warming and adverse effects of climate change. Furthermore, the findings of this study have policy implications for Asian economies and other developing nations, providing guidelines for governments and policymakers to effectively sustain their environmental resources for both current and future use, while simultaneously boosting their economic and environmental sustainability.
