Abstract: Abstract Ecological sustainability (ES) has been empirically examined in this study by looking at climate-related financial policies (CRFPs). By applying a variety of economic models to a sample of 17 European countries from 2010 to 2019, the estimation results demonstrate that CRFP size positively impacts ES. A variety of econometric techniques are employed along with more explanatory variables in order to obtain robust results. Toward a better understanding of the relationship between CRFP and ES, we investigate the short-term and long-term impacts of CRFP on ES and evaluate the impact of CRFP on 11 issue categories of the environmental performance index (EPI). According to the results, the CRFP–ES nexus will probably exist in the long term. Notably, we found different effects of CFRP on eleven issue categories of EPI. Specifically, CRFP positively impacts five issue categories, including sanitation & drinking water, waste management, ecosystem services, climate change mitigation, and acid rain.
