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

"Through this introductory chapter, the state of the art of scholarship on climate financing and the political economy of climate transition is reviewed, and the contribution from the book to this body of work is outlined.

The chapter shows how the book's overall focus hooks into a vibrant strand of literature on foundations for effective climate performance, and how its quantitatively-driven approach facilitates added granularity in our understanding of specific factors that catalyse or constrain climate financing.

The chapter also introduces the approach taken to understanding and analysing 'institutions', and includes detailed overviews of the insights generated from the book's later chapters"-- Provided by publisher.
