Abstract

Against the backdrop of global green development transformation and China's advancement of the dual-carbon goals, green finance has become crucial support for sustainable economic development. The guiding role of policy on ESG investment is becoming increasingly evident. However, further research on how policy leverages ESG investment to promote green finance development is needed. This paper employs literature research to review relevant theories and the current research status, uses case analysis to examine typical cases, focuses on the policy-led perspective to analyze driving paths, and combines typical cases with empirical analysis for multidimensional verification. It systematically identifies paths through which policy drives green finance development by guiding the dissemination of ESG investment concepts, promoting the development of the ESG investment market, and improving support mechanisms, supported by multidimensional case evidence. The study revealed that policy plays a key role in the ability of ESG investment to drive green finance development. The identified driving paths have practical guiding significance and can provide references for optimizing policies and market entity behaviors.
