We therefore invite both
conceptual and empirical contributions that seek to analyse the intersection between green
finance and transformative/diverse economies to
understand emerging climate economies. Questions could include,
but are not limited to:
- How does green finance
contribute to the establishment of diverse relations – or complicate existing diverse relations – of production,
labour and exchange?
- How
do the diverse debt relations of green finance manifest
themselves in different places?
- What
role do metrics, indices, standards, and expertise play in supporting or obscuring difference/diversity in new financial relations?
- What
actors are at the heart of establishing new financial relations that can contribute to the establishment of diverse economies?
- What
financial struggles are taking place in particular places that are (re)defining
what our economy is and who it is for, in a climate-challenged world?
- How
is finance engaged in the materialisation of new
forms of ‘the economy’ (Mitchell 2008)
through technologies of calculation and representation?
We also welcome reflective contributions that consider
for example the following questions:
- How
can our research open up new possibilities? What
role can different theoretical approaches play?
- Is
a diverse economies lens a suitable approach to build a political research agenda for climate finance? What are its limitations?
- What
transformative potentials are present in finance not explicitly labelled green? How does finance in housing, transportation, food, mining, and
energy contribute to new climate economies?
