Studies have shown that climate finance can contribute to reducing carbon emissions, particularly in small island developing states \citep{Lee2022}. However, leading finance journals have largely neglected climate change topics \citep{DiazRainey2017}, with finance-based research in climate finance remaining limited \citep{CareWeber2023}. Researchers have explored the impact of climate mitigation finance on reducing emissions \citep{Khan2023} and how climate change affects stock returns \citep{Venturini2021}. Big data analysis and machine learning have been employed to provide comprehensive overviews of sustainable finance research \citep{Kumar2022}. Additionally, studies have examined the challenges faced by African countries in accessing climate finance, despite their high vulnerability to climate change impacts \citep{Tamasiga2023}.
