Abstract
Green finance refers to a financial action of balancing ecological protection and economic growth simultaneously with the goal of mitigating climate change. Given the rapid development of green finance, many related concepts have also emerged, such as sustainable finance, carbon finance, and environmental finance, but the boundaries between them remain blurred, potentially limiting the development of green finance. To foster green finance development, this research adopts the bibliometric method of main path analysis (MPA) to examine the research development trajectory from 3712 green finance-related papers. Based on the findings, this study categorizes the knowledge trajectory of green finance into three phases and seven recent hot sub-fields. It also proposes future research directions, including government information disclosure, financial institutions’ initiatives, and public engagement promotion, in order to provide a sustainable approach to facilitate green finance development.
