Abstract: In alignment with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles, nations have established platforms for environmental sustainability through financial routes, spotlighting green finance and FinTech. While there have been tangible advancements, academic discourse on these topics remains dispersed and lacks cohesion. Observing the frequent overlap in the implementation of green finance and FinTech, this paper offers a bibliometric analysis of research concerning green finance and FinTech up to 2022. The primary objective of this study is to identify some of the most pertinent research in these fields. The results assist in delineating several future research directions, including a greater focus on the investment facet of green finance, the application facet of FinTech, the regulatory environment in some developing countries, and an emphasis on Green FinTech research based on information from the Web of Science database.
