Based on panel data of 285 cities in China, we carry out an empirical test for the impact of digital finance development on urban environmental governance with a fixed-effects model. The results show that digital finance can significantly reduce urban pollutant emissions, suggesting a positive environmental governance effect. After using an instrumental variable and a lagged response variable to test the robustness of the results, the conclusion still holds. Through further analysis, we find that for cities in the central and western regions and cities with a higher degree of green finance development, the environmental governance effect of digital finance is more significant. This paper enriches research on the economic consequences of digital finance and provides empirical evidence for the positive environmental effect of digital finance.
