Abstract

This introduction frames the book forum on Gareth Bryant and Sophie Webber’s Climate Finance: Taking a Position on Climate Futures , which reframes climate finance not as a technical fix but as a contested political terrain. It outlines how financial instruments shape possible climate futures by privileging private capital over public good. Drawing from a 2025 AAG panel, the piece introduces commentaries that critically engage with the book’s concepts and affirms the urgency of taking a position within the financialized politics of climate action.
