Repositioning climate finance
回应关于《气候金融》一书的评论,讨论气候投资的政治争议、地缘政治与经济民族主义对气候政策的影响,以及气候金融从全球北方转移的地理变化。
It is a pleasure to engage with generous and insightful colleagues about our book, Climate Finance. Here, we respond to their commentaries in light of compounding violent, ecological and political-economic crises that have only intensified since we wrote the book. We address three main challenges: the increasingly contested politics of climate investment, the entanglement of competitive geopolitics and economic nationalism with climate policies and a potential geographical shift in climate finance away from the Global North. These developments, we suggest, have accelerated the position of climate finance as the central terrain of climate politics and challenged the narrow versions of climate finance predicated on private sector voluntarism, de-risking states and Western financial centres.
