Introduction
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with far-reaching implications for the environment, society, and the economy. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of sustainable finance in addressing climate change. Sustainable finance refers to the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into financial decision-making, with the aim of promoting sustainable development and mitigating climate change. This thesis aims to explore the role of sustainable finance in climate change mitigation, focusing on the various mechanisms through which sustainable finance can drive positive environmental outcomes.

The Role of Sustainable Finance in Climate Change Mitigation
Climate change is a global crisis that requires urgent action to mitigate its impacts on the environment and society. Sustainable finance has emerged as a key tool in addressing climate change by incorporating ESG criteria into financial decision-making. This thesis aims to explore the role of sustainable finance in climate change mitigation, focusing on the mechanisms through which sustainable finance can drive positive environmental outcomes.
The thesis is structured into five chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review on sustainable finance and its link to climate change, including sustainable finance instruments, role of financial institutions, regulatory frameworks, challenges, case studies, impact, and future trends.
Chapter 3 outlines the research methodology, including research design, data collection methods, sampling technique, data analysis methods, ethical considerations, limitations, validity, reliability, and justification of research methods. Chapter 4 discusses the findings of the research, analyzing sustainable finance mechanisms, evaluating impact on climate change mitigation, comparing approaches, providing recommendations, identifying opportunities for future research, and discussing implications for the industry.
Chapter 5 concludes the thesis by summarizing key findings, contributions to existing literature, practical implications, limitations, recommendations for future research, and a final conclusion. The thesis aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable finance and its role in addressing climate change, providing insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in the field.
