Abstract

Green finance and carbon emission management are critical to addressing global climate change and achieving sustainable development. In the context of real-world challenges, the intensifying global climate crisis has heightened the focus on carbon emissions among governments, corporations, and financial institutions. The Paris Agreement and national carbon neutrality goals have propelled green finance into the spotlight as an essential economic tool. Green finance, through mechanisms such as green bonds, green loans, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments, supports the financing and implementation of environmental projects. This not only aids companies in transitioning to low-carbon operations but also enhances the overall sustainability of the economy. Carbon emission management is a vital strategy for businesses striving for sustainability. So this study explores the role of green finance in fostering good corporate carbon emission management. This study first discusses the current severe environmental issues related to carbon emissions in both China and overseas to highlight the importance of green finance. Then the article shows the basic theories of green finance and its development across the globe. Finally, some previous research was cited a specific way and finally, the conclusion was drawn that green finance makes corporate carbon emission reduction efficient, and then the study shows what can people do to further promote green finance.
