        abstract = {Green finance has emerged as a critical mechanism for addressing the escalating challenges of climate change by channelling financial resources toward environmentally sustainable projects. This study examines the role of green financial instruments such as green bonds, carbon credits, climate funds, and sustainable banking practices in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting low-carbon development pathways. Green finance enables the transition to renewable energy, energy-efficient infrastructure, sustainable agriculture, and clean transportation, thereby facilitating climate change mitigation at both national and global levels. Despite its growing relevance, the sector faces barriers including limited awareness, regulatory inconsistencies, inadequate risk assessment tools, and insufficient private sector participation. Strengthening policy frameworks, enhancing transparency, and promoting public–private partnerships are essential for accelerating green financial flows. The paper concludes that green finance is not only a tool for environmental protection but also a catalyst for sustainable economic growth, making it a vital component in achieving long-term climate resilience and meeting global commitments.},
