Neo-colonialism and leaving fossil fuels underground: A discourse analysis of the potential German-Senegalese gas partnership
This paper explores the contested discourses surrounding a potential gas partnership between Germany and Senegal, highlighting the implications of neo-colonialism in energy politics. It addresses a gap in the LFFU literature: its limited engagement with critiques that call the Global North's discouragement of fossil fuel use a form of neo-colonialism. Conversely, another critique views developed nations' support for fossil fuel projects in the Gl…
Climate Injustices Have Multiplied over Time: The Need for Climate System Justice
This article asks: How have climate injustices accumulated in climate negotiations, and how can a climate system justice approach be developed? It concludes that, first, without a just approach, climate change cannot be addressed. Second, it identifies six cumulative injustices: (a) delay of the long-term climate objective, (b) post-equitable sharing of the ‘carbon budget’, (c) ignoring stranded resources and assets, (d) adopting efficient but in…
Confronting stasis and navigating pathways of change in green finance: Researcher agencies, emotions, and normativities
The promise or intent of change is a fundamental feature of ‘green’ finance. Despite many observable and notable changes in financial discourse, disclosure practices, products, and regulatory reforms, many green finance researchers are also painfully aware of the various ways in which green finance falls short of its promise. Being confronted with stasis creates feelings of frustration and gives rise to fundamental questions about the role of res…
Pension funds and fossil fuel phase-out: Historical developments and limitations of pension climate strategies
Despite the decades of international climate negotiations and several landmark agreements, global efforts to date to restrict fossil fuel production in line with climate targets have been unsuccessful. As national and international policies continue to fall short of phasing out fossil fuels, increasing attention has been paid to non-state actors, like pension funds, as a potential source of more ambitious climate action. As major asset owners, la…
Climate action or distraction? Exploring investor initiatives and implications for unextractable fossil fuels
Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C requires drastically reducing fossil fuel production and use. Institutional investors who invest in fossil fuels can potentially influence the energy transition. However, few papers investigate how investors can leverage their collective resources to accelerate a transition away from fossil fuels. Hence, this paper asks: How do investor initiatives inform or shape efforts of institutional investors to align with …
