2026 Bund Summit Report On Green Finance: Green and Low-Carbon Synergy and Sustainable Finance

SendTime：2026-10-12 11:10:48
Introduction:Green and low-carbon development has become deeply embedded in macroeconomic performance, financial risk prevention and global governance, reflecting its inherent features of cross- sector relevance, multi-stakeholder interaction, and coherence between domestic and international efforts. However, intensifying geopolitical competition, faltering multilateral governance and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains have contributed to sluggish world economic growth and weak employment, while constrained fiscal space in some economies weighs heavily on sustainable development. Energy security and the low-carbon transition have become increasingly pressing concerns for a number of economies, and climate-related natural disasters are occurring with greater frequency, exacting a severe toll on economic and financial stability. With multiple objectives and overlapping risks, policymakers may need a more coordinated response. Promoting green and low-carbon synergy thus serves several strategic purposes simultaneously, including facilitating growth, mitigating risks, conserving ecosystems, improving livelihoods and strengthening international cooperation. This research centres on the links between the green and low-carbon transition and macro-financial development, to articulate the holistic logic that underpins green and low-carbon development. The notion of green and low-carbon synergy, as analysed here, comprises three progressive dimensions. The first concerns internal coordination within green and low-carbon efforts, encompassing how climate mitigation aligns with adaptation and how climate action aligns with ecosystem conservation. The second concerns coordination between the green and low-carbon transition and domestic macro-financial development, including high-quality economic growth and financial stability. The third adopts an international perspective, covering the interface between the green and low-carbon transition and cross-border investment and financing, green international trade, international financial governance and just transition. Financial support and financial-risk prevention run through each of these dimensions of synergy.

Green and low-carbon development has become deeply embedded in macroeconomic performance, financial risk prevention and global governance, reflecting its inherent features of cross- sector relevance, multi-stakeholder interaction, and coherence between domestic and international efforts. However, intensifying geopolitical competition, faltering multilateral governance and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains have contributed to sluggish world economic growth and weak employment, while constrained fiscal space in some economies weighs heavily on sustainable development. Energy security and the low-carbon transition have become increasingly pressing concerns for a number of economies, and climate-related natural disasters are occurring with greater frequency, exacting a severe toll on economic and financial stability. With multiple objectives and overlapping risks, policymakers may need a more coordinated response. Promoting green and low-carbon synergy thus serves several strategic purposes simultaneously, including facilitating growth, mitigating risks, conserving ecosystems, improving livelihoods and strengthening international cooperation.

This research centres on the links between the green and low-carbon transition and macro-financial development, to articulate the holistic logic that underpins green and low-carbon development. The notion of green and low-carbon synergy, as analysed here, comprises three progressive dimensions. The first concerns internal coordination within green and low-carbon efforts, encompassing how climate mitigation aligns with adaptation and how climate action aligns with ecosystem conservation. The second concerns coordination between the green and low-carbon transition and domestic macro-financial development, including high-quality economic growth and financial stability. The third adopts an international perspective, covering the interface between the green and low-carbon transition and cross-border investment and financing, green international trade, international financial governance and just transition. Financial support and financial-risk prevention run through each of these dimensions of synergy.
