Abstract

Globalization has accelerated environmental issues like climate change and biodiversity loss, threatening ecosystems and the global economy. To tackle these, the international community created a global governance framework centered on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement. This framework promotes a green economic model for coordinated development. However, achieving this goal faces dual bottlenecks of funds and technology, especially for developing countries undergoing low -carbon transformation. This article adopts the methods of literature analysis and case study to explore the role and strategies of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in promoting green trade and sustainable development. Research has found that the IMF, through its three core functions of supervision, lending and capacity building, has established a stable macroeconomic policy foundation for the global green trade system. In addition, the technical assistance and international cooperation of the IMF have also provided significant support for member countries in addressing climate change.
