China　has　been　facing　increased　economic　as　well　as　global　pressure　to　indulge　in　accurate　resource　management　and　to　look　towards　the　resolution　of　major　environmental　issues.　Hence,　it　is　vital　to　study　the　impact　of　sustainability　strategies　like　green　growth　and　green　trade　in　the　perspective　of　China.　In　this　view,　the　present　study　investigated　the　association　between　green　growth　and　green　trade　in　China　on　the　usage　of　natural　resources　of　energy　(coal,　gas,　and　oil)　for　the　period　of　1980-2020.　Auto-regressive　distributed　lag,　ARDL　bounds　test　for　co　integration,　and　pairwise　granger　causality　tests　were　used　to　test　the　impact　that　the　variables　have　on　each　other.　The　empirical　results　revealed　that　efficient　resource　use　can　increase　significantly　in　response　to　an　increased　green　growth　of　the　Chinese　economy　and　green　trade　policies.　These　findings　suggest　that　environmental　burdens　can　be　minimized　by　reducing　the　use　of　natural　resources　like　coal　that　contribute　to　air　pollution.　This　study　is　significant　as　it　suggests　policies　for　the　implementation　of　green　environment　and　economic　strategies　in　China　and　suggests　that　a　reduced　usage　of　natural　energy　resources　can　lead　to　a　positive　outcome　of　green　growth　and　green　trade　in　China.
