Empirics on the relationship between financial development and environmental sustainability remain ambiguous in the literature. The threshold level at which institutional quality facilitates the relationship between financial development and environmental sustainability in respect to the Nigerian economy is still an open question. This study investigates the threshold level of institutional quality in the link between financial development and environmental sustainability in Nigeria from 1986 to 2020. Times series threshold autoregression technique was applied to determine the threshold level of institutional quality. The result of the threshold revealed that 4.32 is the threshold level of institutional quality in Nigeria. Below the threshold level financial development is not stimulated to improve environmental sustainability but above the threshold level institutional quality stimulates financial development to improve environmental sustainability. This study suggests that institutional credibility and transparency should be enhanced beyond the threshold level to effect the needed change in increasing environmental preservation in Nigeria.

Thirty barriers of green banking in Pakistan have been identified from literature, out of which 27 factors are verified by the experts. The results revel that "lack of internal capacity" is the key barrier as it is present at the last level of structural model. "Lack of technology" and "lack of formal guidelines" are also considered as crucial barriers as they are present at the bottom of the model. Thirteen barriers are at the center levels and considered as moderately severe while eleven barriers are at top level that means they have a less severe effect. The results of MICMAC also go along the results of ISM. It is an original attempt to provide a detail view on barriers of green banking that can help government, regulators, society, policy makers and academia. This study will have a great implication for its stakeholders such as banks, regulators, customers etc. It will have theoretical as well as practical implications.
