Different actors are advancing competing climate visions and interests by adopting financial positions. International institutions urge action by identifying financing gaps needed to meet climate targets. The finance sector claims it holds the key to unlocking money needed for climate investment. Activists expose greenwashing while using financial tactics to undermine fossil fuels. Vulnerable countries demand wealthy governments repay historical climate debts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers an accessible and critical guide to the political economy and economic geography of climate finance. It identifies six competing \"positions\" of climate finance to make sense of the array of financial instruments, institutions and ideas that are remaking the relationship between capitalism and climate change. Using a wide range of case studies, from green bonds, to divestment, carbon offsetting, climate tech, central banks, and international climate funds, the authors show how climate finance is shaping our collective climate futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGareth Bryant is ARC DECRA Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Political Economy at the University of Sydney. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSophie Webber is ARC DECRA Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Geography in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Agenda Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50674095423762,"sku":"9781788214629","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d88b3b98-ec60-4155-9f07-b72f06f561d8.jpg?v=1733853165","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/climate-finance-taking-a-position-on-climate-futures-9781788214629","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
