摘要

绿色贸易融资的迅速扩张正在重塑全球贸易格局，并为碳减排提供新的机遇。我们的研究考察了2012年至2022年全球各国绿色贸易融资对碳排放的影响，为绿色或可持续贸易政策的环境优势提供了新的见解。实证结果表明，绿色贸易融资主要通过促进绿色创新和改善能源结构两个渠道显著降低碳排放。机制分析证实，它增强了企业的环境导向创新，促进了向清洁能源的过渡。这些发现强调了绿色金融的环境效益，并强调了其作为可持续发展可扩展工具的作用。研究还提出了在不同制度条件下实施绿色贸易融资的多层次政策建议。

Trade, finance, and the environment: The effects of green trade financing on carbon emissions

The rapid expansion of green trade financing is reshaping global trade dynamics and offering new opportunities for carbon emission reduction. Our study examines the impact of Green Trade Financing on carbon emissions across a global sample of countries from 2012 to 2022, providing new insights into the environmental advantages of green or sustainable trade policies. The empirical results demonstrate that green trade financing significantly reduces carbon emissions, mainly through two channels: promoting green innovation and improving energy structure. Mechanism analysis confirms that it enhances firms' environmentally oriented innovation and facilitates the transition toward cleaner energy. These findings underscore the environmental benefits of green finance and highlight its role as a scalable instrument for sustainable development. The study also provides multi-level policy recommendations to operationalize green trade financing under diverse institutional conditions.
