Abstract

The escalating impacts of climate change have significantly influenced global financial market dynamics. Recognizing this challenge, China has strategically adopted eco-financial mechanisms as a policy response. These innovative financial instruments encompass environmentally focused banking services, climate-aligned securities, sustainable investment vehicles, ecological risk management products, emissions trading systems, environmentally responsible trust services, and eco-friendly leasing arrangements. Unlike conventional financial models, these sustainable financial approaches better align with contemporary societal progress and effectively address the pressing issue of worldwide environmental transformation. Through systematic evaluation, Chinese policymakers have identified eco-financial strategies as crucial components of long-term economic sustainability, with these mechanisms demonstrating substantial influence in maintaining equilibrium within the nation’s economic systems. This study examines the evolution of China’s sustainable financial system through various analytical frameworks, including environmental-social-governance metrics, climate-related risk coverage, and environmentally conscious lending practices. Furthermore, it provides an integrated assessment of how these ecological financial instruments have contributed to national economic growth indicators. While China has made progressive refinements to its sustainable financial regulations, certain limitations persist, including regulatory oversight gaps, elevated sector uncertainties, and limited participation from individual investors. The present research primarily investigates the role of ecological finance in China’s economic systems, along with the ongoing advancements in its sustainable financial methodologies.
