Institutions for Climate Finance: States, Markets, and Foundations for Effective Performance

Effective climate transition requires accelerated financing from public and private sources, and improved coordination between states and markets.Through Institutions for Climate Finance, the authors offer a forensic interrogation of structures capable of supporting effective response to the era-defining climate challenge.Combining high intellectual ambition and systematic engagement with scholarship across a range of social science traditions, they deliver insights that are analytically precise and which carry far-reaching implications.The book demonstrates how political institutions including government composition and electoral out-turns impact domestic climate spending, how national cultural values provide social institutional foundations for climate aid, and how economic institutional mechanisms including Central Bank asset purchases and underwriters' operations influence the performance of green bond markets.Clegg and Galindo-Gutiérrez cover technical nuance in an accessible form
