Description:
Since around 2010 significant quantities of international climate-change finance have begun to reach developing countries. This transfer of finance --the legal and ethical obligations that underpin it, the constraints on its use, its intended outcomes, and its successes, failures, and future potential--is poorly understood. This book seeks to fill this gap in the legal scholarship. Through case studies of international finance mechanisms and a multitude of other sources, the text delivers a rich legal and empirical understanding of the implementation of states' climate-finance obligations to date.
