ABSTRACT

In an era defined by the imperative of sustainable development, the convergence of finance and environmental stewardship through green finance has emerged as pivotal for global progress. Green finance represents a paradigm shift driven by the urgent need to address global environmental challenges, encompassing financial mechanisms to foster environmentally sustainable projects. Initially conceived for cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology offers decentralized and immutable ledger capabilities that promise to revolutionize how environmental data is managed and verified. This paper explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology within green finance, aiming to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in sustainable finance initiatives. It examines blockchain's role in enhancing transaction transparency, automating verification processes through smart contracts, and integrating IoT and AI for optimized resource management.
