“…While developing and developed countries differ regarding the role for private climate finance in meeting global financing targets, they seem agree on the vital role of the private sector in implementing adaptation measures at the local level (Pauw 2017). Meanwhile, Betzold and Weiler (2017) find that allocation patterns reflect to some extent broad agreement among countries about the importance of vulnerability in distributing adaptation finance.…”

“…Some articles explore the ways in which divergent interests and norms as well as epistemic uncertainty-about the impacts of climate change and the appropriate responses to those impacts-can foster fragmentation (Hall 2017;Roberts and Weikmans 2017;Betzold and Weiler 2017). A further question concerns how domestic fragmentation-for example, in the form of norm contestation among or within bureaucratic agencies or political partiesinfluences and drives international fragmentation (Skovgaard 2017;Pickering and Mitchell 2017).…”

“…This lack of predictability tends to undermine trust in climate negotiations, which in turn impedes global progress on avoiding dangerous climate change. Lack of agreed rules across institutions and actors may also impede effectiveness in generating or allocating resources (see Betzold and Weiler 2017;Hall 2017). For example, in the absence of shared commitments to phase out carbon-intensive investments, institutions within the development finance system may undermine their own climate finance objectives, for example by continuing to provide funding for fossil fuel power generation (Delina 2017).…”

“…For example, in the absence of shared commitments to phase out carbon-intensive investments, institutions within the development finance system may undermine their own climate finance objectives, for example by continuing to provide funding for fossil fuel power generation (Delina 2017). Similarly, contributor countries may not adhere to multilaterally agreed principles when allocating adaptation finance bilaterally (Betzold and Weiler 2017).…”

“…Given the recurring theme of ambiguity, it is not surprising that numerous contributions call for clearer definitions, agreed accounting standards and better oversight to make the climate finance system more accountable and effective (Betzold and Weiler 2017;Hall 2017;Pauw 2017;Roberts and Weikmans 2017). While the development of common standards is a high priority, in the interim individual actors can take steps to reduce norm conflicts within their own policies and practices.…”

Sustainable finance research: Review and agenda

2023

Amidst increased climatic disasters, persisting social evils, and governance concerns, sustainable finance and its new and innovative financial instruments have gained prominence across stakeholders globally. Green, social sustainability, sustainability‐linked, and transition (collectively GSS+) debt have a market worth USD 3.9 trillion since 2007 (Climate Bonds Initiative, 2018). We provide a comprehensive review of the evolution and future research directions of the sustainable finance research field by analysing overall publication trends, subject categories, co‐authorship networks, keywords, countries and institutions, journal co‐citation, and cluster analysis. Findings include the emergent need for greater collaboration among authors globally. Future research directions include research questions for themes such as carbon emission trading, financial inclusion, reporting of proceeds related to sustainable finance to prevent greenwashing, the impact of climate change and climate finance on sustainable finance, mobilisation of sustainable finance through green bonds, and technological interactions between sustainable finance and blockchain and artificial intelligence. The study also provides implications for the stakeholders.

Climate change adaptation research is dominated by in-depth, qualitative, singleor small-n case studies that have resulted in rich and in-depth understanding on adaptation processes and decision making in specific locations. Recently, the number of comparative adaptation policy cases has increased, focusing on examining, describing, and/or explaining how countries, regions, and vulnerable groups are adapting across a larger sample of contexts and over time. There are, however, critical empirical, conceptual and methodological choices and challenges for comparative adaptation research. This article systematically captures and assesses the current state of larger-n (n ≥ 20 cases) comparative adaptation policy literature. We systematically analyze 72 peer-reviewed articles to identify the key choices and challenges authors face when conducting their research. We find among others that almost all studies use nonprobability sampling methods, few existing comparative adaptation datasets exist, most studies use easy accessible data which might not be most appropriate for the research question, many struggle to disentangle rhetoric from reality in adaptation, and very few studies engage in critical reflection of their conceptual, data and methodological choices and the implications for their findings. We conclude that efforts to increase data availability and use of more rigorous methodologies are necessary to advance comparative adaptation research.
