Abstract

Globally, scholars and practitioners are becoming increasingly interested in determining the interaction between finance and environmental sustainability. However, a few studies have investigated and organized existing information in the context of the green finance of banks in developing countries. The purpose of our study is to find major dimensions of green finance and research gaps from a thorough evaluation of the literature. As a result, existing research on green finance in the banking industry has been evaluated in this paper with a focus on green finance and sustainable development. This study employs the content analysis method and it analyzes and summarizes a total of 53 relevant previous studies in the field of green finance. The findings of this research reveal 21 crucial dimensions of green finance in Bangladesh. The primary green finance products of Bangladeshi banks include green securities, green investments, climate finance, green insurance, green credit, green bonds and green infrastructure. The other factors include environmental performance and green economic growth, energy efficiency, green finance policy and environmental protection and the risk impact of bank policy formulation. The findings of this study will help policymakers to understand the green finance concept and its associated variables, which need to be considered when adopting and implementing green finance.

银行业绿色金融的系统回顾:一个发展中国家的视角

在全球范围内，学者和实践者对确定金融与环境可持续性之间的相互作用越来越感兴趣。然而，一些研究在发展中国家银行绿色金融的背景下调查和组织了现有的信息。本文的研究目的是通过对文献的全面评估，找出绿色金融的主要维度和研究空白。因此，本文对现有的银行业绿色金融研究进行了评价，重点关注绿色金融与可持续发展。本研究采用内容分析法，对绿色金融领域已有的53项相关研究进行了分析和总结。本研究的结果揭示了孟加拉国绿色金融的21个关键维度。孟加拉国银行的主要绿色金融产品包括绿色证券、绿色投资、气候金融、绿色保险、绿色信贷、绿色债券和绿色基础设施。其他因素包括环境绩效与绿色经济增长、能源效率、绿色金融政策与环境保护以及银行政策制定的风险影响。本研究的结果将有助于决策者理解绿色金融概念及其相关变量，这些变量是在采用和实施绿色金融时需要考虑的。
