The World Bank and International Monetary Fund reported that the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires an escalation of development finance. The report Scaling Finance for the Sustainable Development Goals highlighted the urgency of the efforts to realize SDGs in encouraging financial innovation to move quickly. Even if the role of finance in achieving SDGs is unquestionable, few scientific studies have addressed these issues. We tried to fill the existing research gap. In this study, we examined the link between sustainable finance and SDGs based on European Union countries belonging to the OECD. We present a new and the original research approach. We assumed that the sustainable finance model plays a fundamental role in implementing SDGs (all SDGs were analysed except for SDG 6 and SDG14, due to lack of statistics were not analysed) and ensuring that social and environmental sustainability are reflected in SDGs. The results of this study show that the more sustainable the finance model, the better the achievement of SDGs in the group of analysed countries. We found a strong link between sustainable finance model and social sustainability (SDG1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 16); environmental sustainability (SDG11, 12, 13, 15) and economic sustainability (SDG8, 9, 17).

可持续金融在实现可持续发展目标方面的作用：它有效吗？

世界银行和国际货币基金组织报告称，要实现 17 项可持续发展目标 (SDG)，需要增加发展融资。为实现可持续发展目标扩大金融规模的报告强调了实现可持续发展目标在鼓励金融创新快速发展方面的紧迫性。即使金融在实现可持续发展目标方面的作用是毋庸置疑的，但很少有科学研究解决这些问题。我们试图填补现有的研究空白。在本研究中，我们以属于 OECD 的欧盟国家为基础，研究了可持续金融与可持续发展目标之间的联系。我们提出了一种新的原始研究方法。我们假设可持续金融模型在实现 SDGs 中发挥着基础性作用（除了 SDG 6 和 SDG14 之外，所有的 SDGs 都进行了分析，由于缺乏统计数据而未进行分析）并确保社会和环境可持续性反映在可持续发展目标中。这项研究的结果表明，金融模式越可持续，在分析的国家组中实现可持续发展目标的效果就越好。我们发现可持续金融模式与社会可持续性之间存在密切联系（SDG1、3、4、5、10、16）；环境可持续性（SDG11、12、13、15）和经济可持续性（SDG8、9、17）。
