The project investigates how accountability is understood and implemented within climate finance law, with a view to ascertaining their implications for the right to remedy of peoples in the Global South affected by the mechanisms and international organizations administering the seemingly scarce financial resources. It examines institutional (legal) accountability not only for environmental harms and human rights violations, but also for how the funds are distributed (Which countries are benefiting? For what purpose: mitigation or adaptation?). These lines of inquiry are directed at the decisionmaking and operational structures of treaty-based mechanisms, such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), as well as at proposals for the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) greater participation in climate finance.
