How can governments and financial institutions keep financing the green transition through war and crisis?
The introduction presents a special section of practitioner commentaries from the IfTI Global Symposium 2022 at Offenburg University. It asks whether the war in Ukraine will derail the energy transition, how governments and finance can accelerate the move to net zero, and how government financing instruments can help trade partners meet their climate targets in times of crisis.
What role should export credit agencies play in financing the responsible mining, processing and recycling that the energy transition depends on?
Argues that failing global environmental governance now meets new ideas such as Rights of Nature, using Ranajit Guha's account of dominance and hegemony to assess their political impact.
Why has climate-positive export finance fallen, and what mandates, coordination and metrics would let export credit agencies help close the climate finance gap?
