ABSTRACT
As global economies grapple with the dual challenges of environmental degradation and sustainable
development, the role of green finance has gained increasing attention. Therefore, this study aims to
unfold the impact of green finance on environmental security. Using data from 48 countries from 2020
to 2023, this study explores how green finance initiatives, such as investments in renewable energy,
contribute to environmental stability. We collect empirical data from multiple sources, such as the World
Development Indicators and the OECD database, and employ regression analysis techniques. The results
demonstrate that renewable energy can help combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions from
electricity generation. Moreover, a noteworthy connection exists between green investment initiatives
and modified savings, suggesting a possible financial and environmental sustainability path.
