Expert retrospective on a decade of the Paris Agreement
Is transparency furthering clarity in multilateral climate governance? The case of climate finance
Developing countries’ ambitious climate action hinges on the provision of climate finance from developed countries. Yet, despite decades of debate and contestation over this, substantial controversies continue to persist over whether and how much climate finance is flowing, including whether it is ‘new and additional’ to existing development assistance, whether it targets climate mitigation or adaptation, and whether it is delivered as grants or …
Vulnerability-based allocations in loss and damage finance
Opening the Black Box of Transparency: An Analytical Framework for Exploring Causal Pathways from Reporting and Review to State Behavior Change
Transparency arrangements, in the form of regular reporting by nations and a review of the reported information, have become a backbone of international governance. They are often expected to bring about increased ambition and improved implementation to fulfill the aims of the multilateral agreement in which they are embedded. However, little is still known about how these arrangements result in such effects. In this article, we review compliance…
The unequal geographies of climate finance: Climate injustice and dependency in the world system
Rebooting a failed promise of climate finance
Financing loss and damage from slow onset events in developing countries
Based on a systematic review of journal articles, books and book chapters, and policy papers, we evaluate possible sources of finance for addressing loss and damage from slow onset climate events in developing countries. We find that most publications explore insurance schemes which are not appropriate for most slow onset events. From this, we determine that only a few sources are sustainable. Levies and taxes are seen as relatively fair, predict…
Twenty-five years of adaptation finance through a climate justice lens
How much finance should be provided to support climate change adaptation and by whom? How should it be allocated, and on what basis? Over the years, various actors have expressed different normative expectations on climate finance. Which of these expectations are being met and which are not; why, and with what consequences? Have new norms and rules emerged, which remain contested? This article takes stock of the first 25+ years of adaptation fina…
The Transformative Capability of Transparency in Global Environmental Governance
We develop and apply a new theoretical framework for assessing the transformative capability of transparency in environmental governance. Our framework suggests that as norms related to transparency are recognized and translated into accountability mechanisms, and as these mechanisms are complied with, effects cascade and substantially influence the ability of transparency to transform relationships of inequality. Utilizing the case of climate fi…
Comprendre la mobilisation financière internationale autour de l’aide à l’adaptation au changement climatique
Cet article propose une clé de lecture du « devoir » et des formes d’intervention de la communauté internationale face à des situations de hauts niveaux de risque climatique vécues par un certain nombre de pays en développement. Il s’avère ainsi que la mobilisation internationale récente autour de l’aide à l’adaptation répond à un glissement du diagnostic dominant du problème climatique. Glissement qui entraîne un certain nombre d’implications co…
Pourquoi aider les pays en développement ? Conceptions de la justice dans l’aide à l’adaptation au changement climatique
Cet article examine les justifications morales conduisant les pays développés à fournir aux pays en développement des moyens financiers visant leur adaptation au changement climatique. Nous examinons en particulier les conceptions correctives et distributives de la justice dans la Convention-cadre des Nations unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC), dans les mandats de fonds multilatéraux dédiés au financement de l’adaptation et dans les h…
Assessing the credibility of how climate adaptation aid projects are categorised
This article presents the findings of a re-evaluation of all 5,200 aid projects that OECD donors reported for 2012 as “climate change adaptation”-related, based on the “Rio marker” classification system. The findings confirm those from the academic and grey literature that the absence of independent quality control makes the adaptation Rio marker data almost entirely unreliable. This lack of credibility impedes meaningful assessments of progress …
