As an important driving force for green development,green finance is one of the important measures to achieve high-quality sustainable economic development and carbon peak carbon neutrality.Previous studies mainly focused on the development of green finance in areas with better economic devel-opment,but lacked attention to the development of green finance in ethnic areas.Therefore,this paper takes the data of China's ethnic minority areas from 2011 to 2021 as a sample to deeply explore the im-pact of green finance on green development in ethnic minority areas.The results show that:first,the green development in minority areas presents an upward trend;Second,green finance in minority areas plays a positive role in promoting green development;Third,green finance in minority areas plays a posi-tive role in promoting green development through ecological industrial structure.Therefore,it is suggested to continue to deepen green finance in ethnic minority areas,improve the ecological level of industrial structure in ethnic minority areas,and strengthen economic growth in ethnic minority areas,so as to pro-mote the green and sustainable economic development of ethnic minority areas.
