Summary

Introduction

China has entered a crucial period of changing its direction of economic development in the face of harsh environmental problems. Compared with the green financial markets in developed countries, China started relatively late and the improvement of the green financial system and the enhancement of green financial capabilities have yet to be addressed. Drawing on their experience will contribute to the rapid development of green finance in our country. Green financial instruments include trade of carbon emissions, carbon funds and other financial products. After introducing these kinds of tools, this article gives corresponding suggestions for the development of green finance in our country.
