The Economisation of Climate Change. How the G20, the OECD and the IMF Address Fossil Fuel Subsidies and Climate Finance
Skovgaard, Jakob
The effort to address climate change cuts across a wide range of non-environmental actors and policy areas, including international economic institutions such as the Group of Twenty (G20), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These institutions do not tend to address climate change so much as an environmental issue, but as an economic one, a dynamic referred to as 'economisation'. Such economisation can have profound consequences for how environmental problems are addressed. This book explores how the G20, IMF, and OECD have addressed climate finance and fossil fuel subsidies, what factors have shaped their specific approaches, and the consequences of this economisation of climate change. Focusing on the international level, it is a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers, and policymakers in the fields of politics, political economy and environmental policy. This title is also available as Open Access. -Develops and applies the concept of economisation to the climate issues of fossil fuel subsidies and climate finance, appealing to those seeking an in-depth understanding of the relationship between environmental and economic policies -Supplies an analytical framework drawing on different theoretical approaches to provide a comparison between the ways the G20, OECD, and IMF have addressed climate financing and fossil fuel subsidies, including the causes and consequences - Provides students, researchers, policymakers and experts studying fossil fuel subsidies and climate finance with a rich source of empirical material, particularly the under-explored topics of how the G20, the OECD, and IMF have addressed climate financing and fossil fuel subsidies -This book is also available as Open Access
