Abstract

Using panel data from China between year 2011 and 2020, we examine the impact of green finance on agricultural climate resilience. The findings demonstrate that green finance significantly enhances agricultural climate resilience, a finding that remains robust across various methods. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis reveals that the influence of green finance is more significant in the eastern and western regions, in the post-2016 period, and in areas with lower grain production. The study demonstrates that promoting agricultural green innovation and industrial optimization are essential mediators by which green finance enhances agricultural climate resilience. These findings offer critical insights for policymakers seeking to strengthen climate resilience in agricultural sector through green financing initiatives.
