Abstract

This research aims to examine the relationship between green finance, fintech, and sustainable development. PRISMA and bibliometric analyses were conducted to determine the most important trends related to this subject. A total of 432 scientific documents were analyzed, sourced from the Scopus database. The PRISMA approach was used to choose the bibliometric data, including the application of suitable inclusion and exclusion criteria. The bibliometric analysis study framework, produced using the statistical programming language R alongside sophisticated bibliographic tools Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, particularly concentrates on carbon emissions, renewable energy, green technology innovation, and fintech. The study highlights the most significant authors, sources, and emerging research domains in the subject. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the organization’s performance regarding ESG may be enhanced via the interplay between green financing and fintech. The study’s results highlight the significance of green finance in achieving sustainable development and the need for fintech to evolve into greentech to promote ecologically sustainable activities.
