“…The significance of green bonds in addressing climate change is evident in their emergence as the most important form of climate finance in terms of the overall share of capital investment in climate-focused projects, surpassing traditional sources of funding such as grants and forgivable loans (Long, 2021). Moreover, the green bond market is wellestablished and a significant factor in both developed and emerging countries, supported by growing climate awareness among investors (Alonso-Conde & Rojo-Suárez, 2020).…”

Green Bonds have emerged as a pivotal instrument in climate finance, facilitating the transition towards a sustainable and low-carbon economy. This paper provides a comprehensive review of Green Bond initiatives in both the United States and Africa, shedding light on the distinct trajectories, challenges, and opportunities within these regions. In the United States, Green Bonds have gained substantial traction as a financial mechanism to support environmentally friendly projects. The review explores the regulatory framework, market dynamics, and the role of key stakeholders in shaping the landscape of Green Bonds in the U.S. The analysis delves into the impact of policy developments, such as the Biden administration's commitment to climate action, on the growth and diversification of Green Bond issuance. Additionally, it examines the investor perspective and the evolving disclosure standards that contribute to the transparency and credibility of these financial instruments. On the African continent, Green Bonds have emerged as a critical tool for mobilizing capital to address climate-related challenges while promoting sustainable development. The paper highlights the unique challenges faced by African nations, including limited financial infrastructure and the need for capacity building. It discusses the role of international partnerships and multilateral institutions in supporting African countries in their endeavors to issue Green Bonds. The review also explores how these financial instruments contribute to the continent's broader climate resilience and mitigation strategies. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the importance of aligning Green Bond initiatives with broader sustainable development goals, ensuring that the financing mechanisms not only address climate change but also contribute to social and economic development. It discusses the potential for innovation in structuring Green Bonds to attract diverse investors and foster inclusivity in climate finance. This paper provides a nuanced overview of Green Bond initiatives in the United States and Africa, offering insights into the diverse strategies employed, challenges faced, and the broader implications for climate finance. The comparative analysis aims to inform policymakers, investors, and stakeholders, fostering a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of Green Bonds in these distinct yet interconnected regions.

“…This addresses a gap in sustainable finance research regarding the relationship between technical practices and political authority. Long (2021) examines the trend of using private capital to fund climate projects in vulnerable cities, known as "resilience in crisis". Schloesser & Schulz (2022) explore the potential of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in accelerating the transition to sustainable climate finance.…”

“…Long and Rice (2019) argue that climate urbanism is characterized by a focus on the protection of digital and physical infrastructures. It excludes or marginalizes human and social infrastructures and may reproduce the social justice issues discussed above (see also Long, 2021).…”

Fiduciary Activism From Below: Green Gentrification, Pension Finance, and the Possibility of Just Urban Futures

This article investigates the evolving concept of fiduciary duty and its role in Canadian public sector pension funds’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing practices. It contributes to the literature in the distinct but related fields of environmental gentrification and urban climate finance by bringing fiduciary debates into sharper focus. Engagement with issues surrounding investors’ legal and ethical duties to invest responsibly can contribute to an enhanced understanding of the global and local mechanisms of production and reproduction of environmental and spatial inequalities, as well as strategies for creating more than just urban futures. ESG, a calculative and modelling technique used to manage investment risks, overwhelmingly focuses on physical and financial climate risks (e.g., infrastructure assets and risks associated with regulatory change). This privileges the instrumental, Cartesian view of the environment as severed from its social, historical, and relational character, a perspective that has been thoroughly critiqued in the environmental/ecological gentrification literature. However, ESG investing has also introduced a potentially productive uncertainty in the realm of financial expertise; it forces questions about what it means to invest deferred compensation in the “best interests” of workers and retirees. This article has three interrelated aims. First, it reviews recent trends in environmental gentrification and urban climate finance literature to highlight an emerging but underdeveloped engagement with ESG and fiduciary duty. Second, it shows how the rise of ESG has revealed a vulnerability in the hegemonic profit maximization interpretation of fiduciary duty and invited further, open-ended, critical-theoretical engagements with the concept of the fiduciary and their responsibilities. Finally, it offers the concept of “fiduciary activism from below” to explore how grassroots agency increasingly stages a direct confrontation with corporations, institutional investors, and shareholders in the struggles over urban space and resistance to environmental and infrastructural violence.
