Call for Chapters – Financing Green Transformation (Springer)
The world urgently needs green technologies to be developed and deployed. We want to put together a collection of essays on the best ways to create supporting financial incentives.
One approach calls for a Green Impact Fund that would make large annual disbursements of reward money, divided according to the impact achieved with green innovations throughout the Global South. For two version of this idea, see https://ojs.bonviewpress.com/index.php/GLCE/article/view/583/282 and https://globaljustice.yale.edu/GIFT.
In your contribution, you might critically discuss this approach: the design of such a Fund, its political prospects, its merits and pitfalls. Or you might introduce an alternative approach to averting global climate catastrophe, discussing its comparative merits and prospects. If you are interested in contributing an essay of ca. 7000 words (50000 characters), please check out the full call in English or German and send a brief sketch of your essay to yalegjp@gmail.com by 19 February 2023.
