Climate Change Finance and International Law

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.

Zusammenfassung
Since 2010, a significant quantity of international climate change finance has begun to reach developing countries. However, the transfer of finance under the international climate change regime - the legal and ethical obligations that underpin it, the constraints on its use, its intended outcomes, and its successes, failures, and future potential - constitutes a poorly understood topic. Climate Change Finance and International Law fills this gap in the legal scholarship. The book analyses the legal obligations of developed countries to financially support qualifying developing countries to pursue globally significant mitigation and adaptation outcomes, as well as the obligations of the latter under the international regime of financial support. Through case studies of climate finance mechanisms and a multitude of other sources, this book delivers a rich legal and empirical understanding of the implementation of states´ climate finance obligations to date.The book will be of interest to scholars and students of international law and policy, international relations, and the maturing field of climate change law.
