经济的快速发展、工业化推进的背后是愈演愈烈的环境问题。二氧化碳排放量的快速增长，造成全球变暖、极端天气等，因此碳减排行动刻不容缓。我国相关政策提出走绿色低碳发展路线。作为绿色低碳转型中的一种重要工具，绿色金融一步步出现在公众的视野中。基于2012—2021年十年间30个省域的面板数据，运用熵值法进行绿色金融水平的测算，运用IPCC提出的测算方法测量碳排放水平，构建固定效应模型，对绿色金融对碳减排的效应进行了实证研究。研究结果发现：绿色金融发展水平能够显著降低人均碳排放水平，也即绿色金融对碳减排具有显著的正向效应，并且在经过三种稳健性检验之后结论依然成立，但针对我国东中西部地区、不同经济水平下绿色金融对碳减排的效应存在较好的异质性。最后提出了发展绿色金融、促进碳减排的相关建议。

With the rapid development of economy and the promotion of industrialization, environmental problems are becoming more and more serious. The rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions contributes to global warming and extreme weather, so it's urgent to take action to reduce carbon emissions and China is committed to green development.As an important tool in the green and low-carbon transition, green finance has emerged in the public's view step by step. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces from 2012 to 2021, the entropy method is used to measure the level of green finance and the measurement method proposed by IPCC is used to measure the level of carbon emission.The research also constructs a fixed-effect model to carry out an empirical analysis on the effect of green finance on carbon emission reduction. The research shows that the development of green finance can significantly reduce the per capita carbon emission, that is, green finance has a significant positive effect on carbon emission reduction, and the conclusion still holds true after three robustness tests, but there is good heterogeneity in the effect of green finance on carbon emission reduction in eastern, central and western regions of China at different economic levels. Finally, some suggestions on developing green finance and promoting carbon emission reduction are put forward.
