摘要

中国的绿色金融政策已逐步落实和加强，绿色金融已成为促进生物多样性的重要催化剂。本文利用278个中国城市的数据，以广域创新改革区为准实验环境，探讨了广域创新改革对生物多样性的影响及其机制。结果表明，GF显著改善了城市生物多样性。异质性分析表明，GF对西部城市、经济发达城市、资源中心城市和中小中心城市的生物多样性具有正向影响。机制测试表明，生态价值实现和气候变化是GF增加生物多样性水平的关键途径。鉴于生物多样性保护的复杂性和迫切需要，本研究为利用GF进行生物多样性保护工作提供了理论框架。

Nurturing nature: The role of green finance in reviving urban biodiversity

China's green finance (GF) policies have been progressively implemented and strengthened, positioning GF as a pivotal catalyst for biodiversity enhancement. This study employs the GF Innovation and Reform Zones as a quasi-experimental setting to examine the influence and underlying mechanisms of GF on biodiversity, utilizing data from 278 Chinese cities. The findings indicate that GF markedly improves urban biodiversity. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that GF positively impacts biodiversity in western cities, cities with advanced economic development, resource-centric cities, and small to medium-sized urban centers. Mechanism tests identify ecological value realization and climate change as key pathways through which GF augments biodiversity levels. Given the intricate nature and pressing need for biodiversity conservation, this study offers a theoretical framework for leveraging GF in biodiversity preservation efforts.
