Abstract

Green bonds represent an increasingly popular way to match “environmental sustainability,” growth, and the aspirations of global financial capital. In this article, we leverage a world-ecology approach to unpack and make sense of green bonds as public/private constructions that shape and subordinate the complex ecologies of territories to the needs of finance and reproduce the global patterns of uneven development and capitalist accumulation. Through the study of recent green bond issuances realized by private companies active in the forestry sector in Brazil, we discuss how green bonds as a “new” form of “green” debt put nature at work and transform the territories and natural elements in the global south into “temporal and spatial fixes” for the needs of global financial capital.

绿色债务资本化

绿色债券代表了一种越来越受欢迎的方式来匹配“环境可持续性”、增长和全球金融资本的愿望。在这篇文章中，我们利用世界生态学的方法来解读和理解绿色债券作为公共/私人建筑，它塑造了复杂的领土生态并使其服从于金融需求，再现了不均衡发展和资本主义积累的全球模式。通过对活跃在巴西林业部门的私营公司最近发行的绿色债券的研究，我们讨论了绿色债券作为一种“新”形式的“绿色”债务如何让自然发挥作用，并将全球南部的领土和自然元素转变为满足全球金融资本需求的“时间和空间固定”。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
