Nevertheless, the unexplained variance suggests the presence of additional determinants, such as corporate governance, innovation capabilities, and market dynamics, which warrant further investigation. Practically, managers are encouraged to align climate finance with sustainability initiatives, while policymakers should strengthen the climate finance ecosystem through supportive regulations and improved access to sustainable financial instruments; future research is recommended to incorporate additional variables such as corporate governance, innovation capability, and digital transformation.
