The multipolarity and geo-politics of climate finance

This review critically engages with Gareth Bryant and Sophie Webber’s Climate Finance: Taking a Position on Climate Futures. It contends that there are two unwritten themes that operate across the text that are important to the analytical framework and the operations of climate finance itself. Firstly, a dialectic of multiple forms of uncertainty around climate change (finance) and the attempts to contain, navigate and accumulate across these geographies. Secondly, the need to take seriously the intersections of geo-politics and climate finance amid the increasing multipolarity of the world system.
