With the introduction of the "dual carbon" goals and the rapid expansion of the digital economy, the role of digital finance in promoting sustainable development has become increasingly significant. This study examines how digital finance promotes sustainable development and carbon reduction, as well as its effects on fostering green investment. The findings reveal that digital finance facilitates carbon reduction and green investment through two primary pathways: (1) leveraging financial instruments such as green bonds and carbon funds to provide financial support for green projects. Additionally, related policies that offer subsidies and tax incentives further stimulate green investment, driving its growth. (2) utilizing blockchain technology to enhance information transparency, which enables companies to track carbon emissions in real time, encourages the disclosure of ESG data, and boosts investor confidence in green projects, thereby attracting more capital to the green investment sector. This study concludes that digital finance, through multidimensional innovation and application, not only promotes sustainable development and carbon reduction but also lays a solid foundation and creates ample opportunities for the growth of green investment.
