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 20 (G20), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These institutions tend to address climate change not so much as an environmental issue, but as an economic one, a dynamic referred to as ‘economization’. Such economization 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 economization 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.
