Abstract

As global economic development intensifies, the intersection of financial growth and environmental sustainability has become increasingly critical. This paper explores the role of green finance in reconciling economic prosperity with ecological health. Green finance, encompassing investments and financial practices that prioritize environmental benefits, is emerging as a pivotal mechanism for promoting sustainable development. By analyzing current trends, policies, and case studies, this study evaluates how green finance mechanisms, such as green bonds, sustainable investment funds, and eco-friendly financial policies, contribute to balancing economic advancement with the preservation of natural resources. The paper highlights the challenges and opportunities inherent in green finance, including the need for robust regulatory frameworks, standardized reporting, and stakeholder engagement. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical data, this research underscores the potential of green finance to drive both economic growth and environmental stewardship, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and equitable global economy.
