Synopsis

As climate risks become increasingly tied to financial stability and global economic development, digital innovation is playing a growing role in shaping the future of sustainable finance. Green financial technology (fintech) is emerging as a transformative force capable of supporting climate mitigation, adaptation, and net-zero transitions through more accessible, data-driven, and responsive financial systems. At the same time, digital finance should not be viewed solely as an instrument of efficiency, but as part of broader climate finance ecosystems that must be designed to strengthen resilience, inclusion, transparency, and accountability. Without effective governance frameworks, institutional coordination, and regulatory oversight, however, green fintech may reinforce existing inequalities and create new systemic vulnerabilities within financial and technological systems. These developments have increased the need for more critical and interdisciplinary discussions surrounding the opportunities, limitations, and long-term role of digital financial innovation in advancing sustainable and inclusive climate action. The Strategic Role of Green FinTech in Climate Mitigation and Adaptation responds to the growing need to better understand how fintech can support climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and sustainable economic transformation. Bridging perspectives from economics, finance, sustainability studies, and digital innovation, this book examines how green fintech can contribute to climate finance systems that promote resilience, inclusion, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Covering topics such as blockchain-enabled carbon markets, climate-responsive financial services, and cryptocurrency energy consumption, this book is an indispensable academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, financial professionals, investment analysts, banking leaders, corporate sustainability officers, risk managers, policymakers, and more.
