Abstract

This study analyzes data from Chinese A-share market-listed manufacturing companies between 2009 and 2021. Our results underscore the effectiveness of green finance in mitigating corporate carbon risk, supported by robustness tests. Risk reduction is particularly pronounced for firms under stringent environmental regulations and those receiving greater media attention. Our findings indicate that green finance alleviates financial constraints, reduces carbon risk, and boosts firm value. This study deepens the understanding of the interplay between green finance and corporate carbon risk, offering valuable insights for companies aiming to reduce emissions, sustain economic performance, and manage carbon-related risks effectively.
