Abstract

Provincial panel data from 2001-2019 are selected to construct a mediation effect model with green technology innovation as the entry point to explore the effect of green finance on carbon emissions. The study shows that: (1) the development of green finance can significantly inhibit carbon dioxide emissions, and the higher the carbon dioxide emissions, the better the inhibition effect of green financial development on carbon emissions; (2) in the eastern and central regions of China, the development of green finance have played an obvious inhibition effect on carbon dioxide emissions, and the inhibition effect on carbon emissions in the central region is stronger than that in the eastern region; (3) the level of green technology innovation There is a mediating effect in the improvement effect of green finance on carbon emissions, and the mediating effect accounts for 41.47%.
