Knowledge Asymmetries and Climate Finance: An Inquiry into Environmental Market Failures and Political Legitimacy

In archetypal credit and capital markets, informational gaps can lead to the withdrawal of high-impact participants and incentivise excessive risk-taking by parties unaware of the risks they face.

The Social Justification of Climate Change Beliefs and Environmental Communication

An Ecological Ethics for the Anthropocene: Environmental Justice and Religion
