Abstract

Green FinTech is a quickly developing field that uses technology to promote sustainable investment and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) connectivity. It was born out of the combination of financial technology (FinTech) and environmental sustainability. This study examines how FinTech is creatively used to promote sustainable investing and the incorporation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in the financial industry. Analyzing case studies and new trends offers a thorough grasp of how green fintech technologies influence the financial industry's future and advance international sustainability objectives. This study examines how Green FinTech might support sustainable investment by examining cutting-edge technologies like blockchain, AI, big data analytics, and digital platforms that improve accessibility, efficiency, and transparency. The report also emphasizes Green FinTech's prospects and obstacles in hastening the worldwide transition to sustainable finance.
