About this seminar

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 trade policies. Our findings reveal that Green Trade Financing has a significant impact on reducing emissions, primarily through fostering technological innovation and encouraging the adoption of cleaner energy sources.

The analysis also identifies regional differences in the effectiveness of Green Trade Financing, with stronger emission reductions observed in countries with higher levels of economic development, more advanced trade development, and greater environmental awareness. These results highlight the potential of green trade financing as a key driver for sustainable development, offering valuable insights for policymakers to align trade and finance with environmental objectives and climate goals.
