Abstract：

Driven by the dual objectives of "dual carbon" goals and the rural revitalization strategy, green finance, as a core link connecting ecological protection and economic development, has become a crucial approach to resolving resource constraints in rural areas and promoting sustainable development. Currently, China's rural regions are rich in ecological resources but have low levels of capitalization. Traditional high-energy-consuming development models exacerbate environmental degradation and the urban-rural divide, necessitating the activation of ecological value and the guidance of low-carbon transformation through green financial instruments. Based on this, this paper studies rural revitalization issues with green finance as the entry point. Green finance empowers rural revitalization by optimizing resource allocation through capital guidance, ensuring sustainable development through risk management, promoting green technologies through industrial upgrading, and forming institutional safeguards through multi-party collaboration. However, at this stage, it still faces practical dilemmas such as limitations in policy support and institutional safeguards, structural contradictions between financial supply and demand, shortcomings in technical support and data application, and dual constraints of talent and awareness. It is necessary to assist green finance in empowering rural revitalization from four dimensions: strengthening policy support and institutional safeguards, enhancing financial product and service innovation, strengthening digitalization and technology empowerment, and strengthening risk prevention and control capacity building.
