Abstract: The present study explores the intersection between green finance (GF) and environmental sustainability (ES) with the help of comprehensive bibliometric and content analysis techniques, unveiling new perspectives on this synergy and contributing novel insights to the field. By synthesizing a wide range of literature, this study provides an important understanding of the dynamics of GF and its implications for ES. The bibliometric analysis helps identify key trends, emerging themes, influential contributors, prominent journals, and institutions contributing to the field of GF. For analyzing the co-citations of authors, publications, journals, and generation of keywords VOSviewer software has been used. Based on an extensive exploration of past research, this study synthesizes the academic literature and offers a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of GF. The findings of our study reveal that GF fosters ES through green innovation, public spending, private participation, and digital finance. These results broaden the current state of GF and provide significant implications for policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders in navigating the complexities of GF and its role in promoting sustainable growth. Through its interdisciplinary approach and rigorous analysis, this manuscript enriches the growing body of knowledge on GF and its role in fostering a sustainable future. Furthermore, the study points out several limitations and knowledge gaps, suggesting avenues for future research to address these gaps.Using extensive analysis of published research with bibliometric and content analysis techniques, this manuscript provided an overview of the relatively new field of study by synthesizing the academic literature on green finance. The study incorporates the bibliometric analysis for studying the descriptive statistics of the study, visual analysis for highlighting conceptual and social structure of the field, and then finally the content analysis is performed to gain valuable insights in the area of green finance and environmental sustainability.
