This study investigates the relationship between green finance and bank performance in the context of Bangladesh. It also aims to examine whether climate change influences banks to promote green financing. Firstly, employing time series data of 2015-2021, this study examines whether climate change influences banks to promote green financing activities. Secondly, analyzing panel data from 22 banks spanning the years 2015 to 2021, this research investigates the impact of green finance on the financial performance of banks utilizing the dynamic panel generalized method of moments technique. Findings indicate that climate change has significant positive influence on green financing activities. Also, robust findings show that there is significant negative correlation between green financing and bank performance. Findings are useful in urging regulators, and policymakers in formulating conducive policies for green financing. The study also contributes to the empirical literature by corroborating or contradicting earlier findings.
