Green finance (GF) has emerged as a promising tool to promote low-carbon development, while knowledge is rather limited regarding the underlying mechanism. This article aims address this void by constructing city-level GF index covering seven dimensions and identifying main pathways through which can facilitate development of cities. Using balanced panel data 277 Chinese cities from 2010 2020, results show that: (1) China's exhibits an overall spatial differentiation 'high in east low west', distribution carbon intensity (CI) displays north south'; (2) significantly decreases CI cities, robust employing DID strategies IV estimations; (3) The role on varies with level whereas not GF. Specifically, mitigating effect significant both high groups, but only group; (4) promotes transition mainly adjusting industrial structure than stimulating technological innovation. Despite we also demonstrate green enhances innovation, due multi-factors, such technology progress it brings may always translate into tangible improvement productivity. For most developing countries including China, future policy objective should focus enhancing sustainable progress.
