Abstract

Utilizing data spanning 2012–2022, this study investigated the impact of financial technology on regional carbon emissions, the role of its internal and external mechanisms, and the role of fintech in reducing carbon emission. The conclusions show that the higher the fintech index and the number of regional fintech companies, the lower the carbon emission. Green technological innovation plays a significant mediating role. Fintech achieves sustainable development through innovative financial tools and services and helps firms formulate personalized emission reduction strategies to respond to risks in better ways.
