A chapter in Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Emerging Challenges: Smart Business and Digital Economy 2023 (ICECH 2023), 2023, pp 206-223 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Every area of the global economy faces several environmental problems and their consequences on day-to-day operations. Due to the growing threat of global climate change, the concept of green finance receives increasing attention in recent economic literature. Our research indicates that green securities, green investments, low carbon finance, green insurance, green credit and green infrastructure bonds,… Are the topics of existing studies on green finance illustrating positive developments in the banking background. Bibliometric Analysis is used to identify and analyze large volumes of scientific data and date is taken from the Web of Science. Research result shows that green finance in the future will be one of the crucial keys for the development of the banking industry. The result of this study will support banks that are looking to move towards an environmentally friendly direction on key issues to consider in the adoption and development of green finance. Research purpose: By analyzing the main aspects of the research articles using keywords “green finance” and “banking”, our bibliometric analysis proposes on pointing out the development trends of green finance in the banking industry in the recent period, creating a basis for predicting future development trends of green finance, especially in the banking field. Research motivation: In recent years, the number of research on green finance has increased a lot, especially in 2021. Digital finance, renewable energy sources, technological innovation…is one of the emerging trends, they include the tools to support green finance and the most useful measures to connect finance and the environment. In addition, there are research papers about the relationship of banking field and green finance and how it affects the environment, with the aim of finding parallel directions between environmental protection combined with promoting development of the banking field as well as the finance field sustainable while saving cost, time and human resources. Therefore, that is the driving force that motivated us using the bibliometric method to analyze and research trends about green finance, especially in the banking sector.

In the era of increasing concerns about climate change, green finance tends to be environmentally friendly but still brings a lot of value to investors and companies. In addition, our research also predicts that in the future green finance will play a key role in redirecting industries that are harmful to the environment and will also have a great impact on business management and development of the banking industry. Therefore, green finance needs extensive support and investment policies from companies, investors as well as the government.

This study opens up many research topics for those who want to pursue and contribute to sustainable economic development strategies.
