Abstract

As a core engine of global sustainable development, the green economy has become an important direction for deepening economic and trade cooperation between China and Pakistan. Based on the theories of international direct investment and regional economic integration, this paper systematically analyzes the mechanism framework, development status, and scale characteristics of China-Pakistan green economy cooperation, revealing the effectiveness of their cooperation in energy, agriculture, environmental protection, and other fields through authoritative data and typical cases. The study finds that China-Pakistan green economy cooperation faces key obstacles such as differences in technical standards, limited financing channels, and geopolitical interference. In conjunction with the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" initiative and Pakistan's "Economic Corridor" strategy, this paper proposes specific paths to deepen cooperation from four dimensions: rule alignment, industrial coordination, financial innovation, and risk prevention, providing theoretical support and practical reference for promoting the in-depth development of China-Pakistan green economy cooperation.
