Abstract

Given the exponential growth in financial investments to support climate change mitigation and adaptation, particularly shaped as capital flows from the Global North to the Global South, an incredible amount of research has come out in recent years interrogating various modes of climate finance. This article provides an overview of “climate finance justice,” an emerging subfield of scholarship that asks “What kinds of justice and injustice do we see in climate finance? How does climate justice influence flows and constructions of capital? And how can finance be more just?” As climate finance is often framed as a response to calls for climate justice, climate finance justice offers a space in which to rigorously and comprehensively analyze the outcomes of these flows of capital, finance and power. Yet the field is still new, and would benefit from further inclusion of a broader array of fields and influences, including postcolonial, poststructural, feminist, indigenous, urban, post-political and other critical perspectives to inform scholarship, and challenge dominant conceptualizations of justice and equity. This article highlights the field of climate finance justice and explores the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) as a means of understanding its applied implications. It situates the evolution of the subfield within the broader literature on neoliberal natures, political ecology, and the critical geographies of the carbon economy.

定义气候融资正义:金融化气候行动中的正义批判地理学
鉴于支持减缓和适应气候变化的资金投入呈指数增长,特别是随着资本从全球北方流向全球南方,近年来出现了大量关于各种气候融资模式的研究。本文概述了 "气候融资正义",这是一个新兴的学术子领域,它提出了 "我们在气候融资中看到了哪些类型的正义和非正义?气候正义如何影响资本的流动和构建?金融如何才能更加公正?由于气候融资通常被视为对气候正义呼声的回应,气候融资正义为严格、全面地分析这些资本、资金和权力流动的结果提供了一个空间。然而,该领域仍是一个新领域,若能进一步纳入更广泛的领域和影响因素,包括后殖民主义、后结构主义、女权主义、土著、城市、后政治和其他批判性观点,为学术研究提供信息,并对主流的正义和公平概念提出挑战,将大有裨益。本文重点介绍了气候融资正义领域,并探讨了《联合国气候变化框架公约》(UNFCCC)和自愿碳市场(VCMs),以此理解其应用影响。文章将该子领域的演变置于有关新自由主义本质、政治生态学和碳经济批判性地理学的更广泛文献中。
