Abstract

Serving the national "Dual Carbon" strategy and the development of a financial powerhouse, there is an urgent need to cultivate a new generation of green finance professionals who possess patriotic sentiment, professional expertise, and global competence. Grounded in the fundamental task of "fostering virtue and cultivating talent" within the holistic ideological and political education framework, this paper innovatively constructs a new talent cultivation model for green finance. The model defines its objectives across four dimensions—professional knowledge, practical skills, innovative thinking, and a global perspective (the "Four Elements")—and implements them through four integrated pathways: the fusion of ideological education with professional teaching, interdisciplinary integration, the integration of innovation and education, and industry-education collaboration (the "Four Integrations"). This provides theoretical insights and practical solutions for enhancing the quality and effectiveness of green finance education in the new era.
