Summary/Abstract: FinTech, an innovative blend of financial technology, is emerging as a pivotal solution to tackle pressing climate challenges. This study explores the dynamic intersection of FinTech and climate action, highlighting its transformative role in financing renewable energy, enabling blockchain-based carbon trading, and advancing sustainable investments. Driven by increasing public awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration, FinTech facilitates the transition to a green economy through tools like ESG data analytics, crowdfunding, and digital insurance tailored for vulnerable populations. The bibliometric analysis conducted between 2016-2024 underscores a significant rise in academic interest, with an annual publication growth of 61.6%, emphasizing global engagement from key regions such as China, the EU, and South Asia. Central themes include the reduction of CO2 emissions, economic growth, and renewable energy investments, reflecting a holistic approach to sustainability. This study positions FinTech as not merely a technological innovation but a critical enabler in achieving global climate goals and sustainable economic development.
