Abstract: Abstract Green bonds have experienced rapid global expansion in recent decade, establishing themselves as a key sustainable finance instrument and are widely viewed as an important means of advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article systematically analyzes the functions and mechanisms of green bonds in promoting the realization of some of the SDGs from the perspective of financial support and the pathways and mechanisms through which green bonds support sustainable development. On this basis, by sorting out the scale data showing that the global green bond issuance volume has increased from less than 50 billion US dollars in 2014 to more than 500 billion US dollars in 2023, and combining typical cases such as China’s “carbon neutrality”-specific green bonds and the European Union’s climate transition bonds, this paper conducts a comprehensive assessment of the implementation effects of green bonds in promoting energy structure transformation, improving the ecological environment, and other aspects. By examining the current status of green bonds, their operational mechanisms, and their support for various SDGs, and drawing on typical case studies and data, this article explores their effectiveness and limitations. Policy recommendations are then proposed to optimize the institutional design and market practices of green bonds, thereby better serving the strategic goals of global sustainable development.
