Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The geopolitical implications of climate change are vast, including the harnessing of capital to finance investment in response to it. Sustainable finance is an emerging geopolitical terrain that offers countries the ability to project and protect their policy preferences through their control over financial flows, institutions, and assets. This article explores the ways in which the regulation of sustainable finance—under the broad category of ESG (environmental, social, governance) investing and otherwise—enables and constrains its use as a means to re-orient financial flows to achieve geopolitical objectives. While the use of sustainable finance as a tool of geopolitical competition is still nascent, I argue that geopolitics diminishes the capacity of the financial system to effectively and equitably address climate change and other sustainability threats and hinders international lawmaking and global regulatory coordination in sustainable finance. This article analyses the use of sustainable finance regulation as a geopolitical strategy and explores how the international financial architecture may be able to overcome geopolitical pressures to facilitate global cooperation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
