State-of-the-art literature review on green finance with tabular-graphical and network analyses

Abstract

Green finance is a method of financing that supports investments with a positive impact on the environment, such as the acquisition of eco-friendly goods and services as part of sustainable development or the building of eco-friendly infrastructure. Green finance has started to occupy a very important place in the literature in recent years due to the increasing sensitivity towards the environment. In this literature review, the relations of green finance with fields such as green economy, sustainable development, environmental protection, green manufacturing, and risk assessment have been examined in all aspects with the help of tables and figures. In addition, a bibliometric analysis of green finance studies’ authors, publication sources, institutions, countries, subject areas, document types, and funding sponsors is presented with graphical analyses. The most widely publishing journals in the field of green finance, the most cited studies, conferences in this field, and books published on green finance are presented in tables. Instruments and components of green finance are also reviewed in detail by graphical illustrations.
