Green finance cuts carbon intensity in Chinese cities, study finds

A new study published on arXiv explores the impact of green finance on urban decarbonization across 285 Chinese cities. Using econometric and machine learning models, the research found that green finance significantly reduces carbon intensity, with green bonds and green investment showing the most substantial effects and spatial spillover. The study also identified that the effectiveness of green finance varies by city development level, being most pronounced in smaller cities, and operates through mechanisms like energy structure optimization and industrial upgrading.
