绿色金融发展与城市碳排放：中介机制及政策启示

Green Finance Development and Urban Car-bon Emissions: Intermediary Mechanisms and Policy Implications

摘要: 随着保护环境的意识不断提升和双碳目标的提出，绿色金融发展也提上日程。近年来，我国为了实现双碳目标颁布了一系列绿色金融发展政策，绿色金融的发展在我国已经初步形成完整体系。在这一背景下，如何让绿色金融更好地服务于地区的经济发展，从而实现环境保护和代际公平，打赢绿色革命战显得尤为重要。本文运用近十年来有关绿色金融发展和城市碳排放的数据，研究二者之间的关系和中介机制传导过程，通过实证研究发现，绿色金融的推动可能通过提高地区的能源利用效率、调整和优化产业结构和推动绿色技术的研发与应用，从而减缓城市的碳排放总量。

Abstract: With the continuous improvement of environmental protection awareness and the proposal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the development of green finance has also been put on the agenda. In recent years, China has promulgated a series of green finance development policies in order to achieve the dual carbon goal, and the development of green finance has initially formed a complete system in China. In this context, it is particularly important to make green finance better serve the economic development of the region, so as to achieve environmental protection and in-tergenerational equity, and win the battle of the green revolution. Based on the data on the development of green finance and urban carbon emissions in the past decade, this paper studies the relationship between the two and the intermediary mechanism transmission process, and finds that the promotion of green finance may reduce the total carbon emissions of cities by improving regional energy efficiency, adjusting and optimizing the industrial structure, and promoting the research and development and application of green technologies.
