Climate Justice, Global Capitalism, Climate Finance

In a deeply unequal world, what is the meaning of the billions of Euros promised by wealthy nations to the poorer ones to address climate change? Do they build resilience and reduce emissions, or are they merely bargaining chips at U.N. negotiations? Are promises being met, and are meaningful efforts being funded in the areas needed by developing nations? Given the failure of global society to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases rapidly enough, what are the chances for compensation to nations suffering losses and damages from climate impacts?

Timmons Roberts, Professor of Environment and Society at Brown University in the U.S. and Director of the global Climate Social Science Network will review the history of promises of climate finance, and why it so starkly differs from the reality. He concludes with an assessment of the contributor countries' performance and some proposals of ways forward.
