At the 19th Congress in 2019, it was clearly pointed out that the Chinese economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and high-quality economic development has become the primary goal of economic development. In September 2020, the "dual carbon" goal was clearly proposed at the United Nations General Assembly. This clearly requires us to change our development concept, and green finance, as a new economic growth point, can help promote the development of green industries, improve the ecological level of industrial structure, and promote the transformation of the economy towards high-quality green development. This article constructs a green finance indicator system from five dimensions: green credit, green investment, green insurance, green bonds, and carbon finance, and analyzes the current development status of these four indicators in China; To measure the ecological level of China's industrial structure from the three dimensions of industrial structure rationalization, industrial structure upgrading and industrial structure sustainability, the entropy method was used to calculate the green finance and industrial structure ecological development index of 30 provinces (except Xizang, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from 2005 to 2020. Construct a panel data model using multiple mixed regression to examine the impact of green finance on the ecologicalization of industrial structure.
