改革开放后，中国社会发生了翻天覆地的变化，经济取得了突飞猛进的发展，但是我国多年来粗放型发展模式对环境造成了严重的破坏。进入新时代后，环境问题逐渐受到重视。2017年，习近平同志在党的十九大报告中指出，坚持人与自然的和谐共生，必须树立和践行绿水青山就是金山银山的理念，坚持节约资源和保护环境的基本国策。为促进经济转型和环境保护的协调发展，推动绿色金融的发展和创新，提高金融机构的环境风险管理能力，国务院于2017年在浙江省、江西省、广东省、贵州省、新疆维吾尔族自治区等五省九地设立绿色金融改革创新试验区，本文以此为背景，选用2012-2021年地级市面板数据，采用双重差分法对绿色金融改革创新试验区总体方案的碳减排效应做了评估。并进一步采用中介效应模型探究绿色金融改革创新试验区总体方案对碳排放的作用路径。研究结果表明：1、绿色金融改革创新试验区政策显著地降低了试验区的碳排放。2、从作用路径来看，绿色金融改革创新试验区政策通过优化产业结构和促进绿色创新两个路径来降低碳排放。异质性分析表明绿色金融改革创新试验区政策在环境规制水平更高和金融发展水平更高的地区碳减排效应更好。最后，本文根据研究得到的结论,对绿色金融改革创新试验区总体方案的完善和推广提出了若干建议。

After reform and opening up, Chinese society has undergone tremendous changes, and the economy has made rapid progress. However, China's long- term extensive development model has caused serious damage to the environment. In the new era,environmental issues have gradually received attention. In2017, Xi Jinping proposed at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that we must adhere to the concept of harmony between humans and nature, and must adhere to the basic policy of resource conservation and environmental protection.To promote the coordinated development of economic transformation and environmental protection, promote the development and innovation of green finance, improve the environmental risk management capabilities of financial institutions, and enhance internationalization. The State Council established the Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zone in five provinces and eight regions in 2017. This article takes this as the background, uses panel data from prefecture-level cities in China from2012 to 2021. and uses the difference-in-difference method to evaluate the carbon emission effect of the Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zone overall program. The end of article uses the mediation effect model to explore the role path of the pilot zone policy. The research results show that: 1. The Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zone policy has significantly reduced the carbon emissions in the pilot zone. From the perspective of the role path, the Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zone policy reduces carbon emissions through two paths: optimizing industrial structure and promoting green innovation. Finally, based on the research results, the article puts forward several suggestions for improving and promoting the overall plan of the Green Finance Reform and Innovation Pilot Zone.
