Abstract
An important dimension of international and national climate governance is the
financial sector. Climate finance refers to the role of financial institutions in addressing
climate change, such as through investment transactions, identifying financial
risks and supporting clean and green energy developments. Global financial markets
have become a significant driver of environmental pressure, but also potentially a
means of leveraging positive change. The latter role is expressed through the growing
movement for socially responsible investing (sri). This article examines how the
financial industry affects action on climate change, the role of the sri movement in
improving environmental behaviour, and the place of state-based regulation in creating
a more conducive "marketscapeˮ for climate finance.
