Pakistan’s dependence on imported fuels has led to a massive electrical shortfall, stifling the country’s socioeconomic growth. Pakistan’s energy gap is between 5000 and 8000 megawatts (MW), with a 6–8% yearly growth predicted, therefore, it needs more sustainable and renewable energy sources. Pakistan uses solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass for renewable energy. Pakistan needs cheap energy to support its economic growth. Most of the world’s energy is currently conventionally produced. The objective of this research is to analyze the opportunities that are afforded by renewable energy sources as well as the role that the government plays in the process of policy formulation. An examination of qualitative data from research works, journals, and government annual performance reports is presented. This study investigates renewable energy sources and government policy. According to the study, renewable energy resources are abundant. The renewable energy plan has no effect on real implementation. This research paper examines electricity restrictions, the transition to renewable energy sources, and Pakistan’s renewable energy policy difficulties. After analyzing the nation’s renewable energy potential, practical implications were made to promote it, for example 1710-megawatt wind installations. There are currently 217-megawatt biogas power stations being developed. Accelerating the energy transition to the nation’s future energy perspectives is a priority for sustainable development.

Technological advances have ushered in the era of “e-services.” Scientists and academics are trying to determine how e-services affect citizens’ lives, satisfaction, and future service quality. As e-government emerges, this knowledge leads to improved frameworks for delivering e-services. This study examined the factors influencing Pakistanis to adopt e-government services, particularly those living abroad. Online surveys (structured questionnaires) were administered primarily among Pakistani citizens, including those residing in China and Turkey, via social media networking techniques. Purposive convenience sampling was used, 599 people were surveyed, and the results were considered complete enough to analyze. Structured equation modeling (SEM) and Amos were used to interpret quantitative research results. Results show that values are strongly correlated with expectations about others’ efforts. An invaluable feature of e-government services is their simplicity of use. It may be possible for policymakers to overcome barriers to e-government by using these research findings.

In this study, the concept of online food purchasing is explored where consumers are not required to visit markets to purchase their foods, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between perceived e-service quality and related customer service outcomes in online shopping context. The influence of sustainable marketing practices in terms of perceived e-service quality (ESQ), perceived usefulness of online reviews (PUO), brand self-connection (BSC), personal innovativeness (PRI), and willingness to pay for online food services (WPO) has largely been neglected in the previous studies. The present study proposes a conceptual model to fill this gap and empirically examines how ESQ affects PUO, BSC, WPO, and e-word-of-mouth (e-WOM) of food delivery service brands. An online questionnaire survey was conducted with 423 customers utilizing the PLS-SEM-based approach to determine product indicators. Empirical results reveal that ESQ significantly influence BSC and PUO. In the same vein, PUO significantly influence BSC, while BSC significantly influence e-WOM and WPO. The results further indicate that PRI moderates the relationship between ESQ and BSC. In a post-pandemic context, our analysis indicates enormous implications for food service delivery brands in emerging economies. Online food service providers should consider reviewers’ opinions about the products and services they offer and encourage their customers to write positive reviews of the products and services they offer.

As world resources and environmental constraints have increased, environmental cost has become a concern that affects the sustainable development of the logistics industry in various countries. Carbon emissions are an important part of any environmental cost assessment. How to scientifically and rationally evaluate the green GDP impact and regional efficiency in the logistics industry, especially when under carbon emission constraints, is of great significance to the realization of green and sustainable development. This study evaluated the logistics efficiency of 30 provinces in China from 2003 to 2016 by constructing a super SBM (Slack Based Model) model with undesirable output to explore provincial efficiency and its regional differences. The input–output ratio of the regional logistics industry was optimized through the calculation of the frontier slack variables. The research results showed that, first, it was more reasonable to adjust efficiency under carbon constraints, and it was consistent with the actual performance of the logistics industry. Second, technological progress and deeper capital investments promoted the development of the logistics industry, but technological barriers and low-scale efficiency between regions often limited technological efficiency. Therefore, decision-makers in the logistics industry should reconsider the challenges presented in each reason, encourage industrial technological innovation between regions, and especially promote energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, so as to maintain the sustainable growth of the logistics industry.
