Abstract

Agricultural development occupies a large proportion in our country, and the realization of carbon emission reduction in agriculture has a significant role, and green finance provides the important financial guarantee for agricultural carbon emission reduction and sustainable development. Whether green finance can promote agricultural carbon emission reduction is a question worthy of our attention. In this paper, we systematically analyze and demonstrate the interaction between green finance and agricultural carbon emission reduction in China by using China's provincial data from 2008 to 2022. It is found that green finance effectively promotes agricultural carbon emission reduction, and agriculture-related loans and agricultural insurance have more obvious effects on carbon emission reduction. The more stringent environmental regulations are formulated and implemented within a certain range, the more significant the role of green finance in agricultural carbon emission reduction.
