There is a positive relationship between green energy and environmental quality parameters that have roots in sustainable development. The study aims to explore the lies between green energy, green growth, and environmental context to recommend better strategies for sustainable financial and ecological outcomes in Pakistan. The data has been collected from a set of 100 samples and later it has been reviewed for the statistical analysis under smart PLS. It has been outlined that the theoretical foundations have been applied to justify green energy, economic growth, and environmental quality parameters, and their link is based on innovation and sustainability. The study is based on eight hypotheses, and all of them have been proven positive because there is a direct relationship between environmental quality parameters and positivity, which supports the economy and justifies sustainability in collaboration with innovation in the long run. The study recommends to policymakers and project managers in the context of renewable projects and other projects in Pakistan the use of renewable energy resources and the need to make sure that sustainability is a priority throughout. The study has a future implication in high school for the policymakers and stakeholders in addition to investors and project managers to support evidence-based information for the implication of Environmental Quality parameters.
