Abstract
ABSTRACT Green finance (GF) supports the global fight against climate change and its impacts. It is critical to attaining the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Since GF is regarded as the future of finance and investment, it needs to be fully understood. This paper presents the first mixed-methods systematic review with both bibliometric and qualitative analysis of the state-of-the-art and trends in GF research. A bibliometric review was performed to quantitatively examine 995 related publications retrieved from Scopus and validated with the Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Results showed that GF is still relatively an immature but interdisciplinary research area. A further qualitative-systematic analysis of 60 selected publications was conducted to identify the key findings, challenges, and recommendations for future research. Findings revealed six major research hotspots in GF: (i) green bond market and greenium, (ii) green credit (loan), (iii) carbon investment and market, (iv) green banking, (v) market stress (e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic) and GF, and (vi) domestic and international climate finance policies. This study provides insights into key applications of GF as it applies to specific research fields, a and as the pathways to realize the accruable benefits of GF to enhance research and development.
摘要:绿色金融支持全球应对气候变化及其影响。它对实现《巴黎协定》和联合国可持续发展目标至关重要。既然广发基金被视为金融和投资的未来,就需要充分理解它。本文首次采用文献计量学和定性分析相结合的混合方法对GF研究的现状和趋势进行了系统综述。对Scopus检索到的995篇相关出版物进行了文献计量学审查,并通过Web of Science、Google Scholar和ScienceDirect进行了验证。结果表明,GF仍然是一个相对不成熟但跨学科的研究领域。对60份选定的出版物进行了进一步的定性系统分析,以确定关键发现、挑战和对未来研究的建议。研究结果揭示了GF的六个主要研究热点:(i)绿色债券市场和greenium,(ii)绿色信贷(贷款),(iii)碳投资和市场,(iv)绿色银行,(v)市场压力(如新冠肺炎大流行)和GF,以及(vi)国内和国际气候金融政策。这项研究深入了解了GF在特定研究领域的关键应用,以及实现GF应计利益以加强研发的途径。
