日本語

本稿は、バヌアツの気候資金アクセスを事例に、グリーン気候基金などの資金メカニズムが規律的ガバナンスを生み出し、ドナー中心の説明責任を強化することを示す。また、帝国リテラシーの概念を用いて、適応や損失・損害への資金調達における非対称な権力関係を批判的に分析する。

English

This paper examines climate finance access in Vanuatu, arguing that green funds like the Green Climate Fund operate as disciplinary regimes that create parallel governance structures and donor-centered accountability. Using political ethnography and the concept of imperial literacy, it reveals how compliance frameworks undermine local priorities and reproduce historical inequalities in climate finance governance.

日本のGX文脈において

本稿は、気候資金へのアクセスが規律的なガバナンスを生み出すことを示し、日本の国際的な気候資金供与や途上国支援における説明責任の設計に示唆を与える。特に、日本が関与する二国間・多国間の気候資金メカニズムの運用を批判的に検討する際の参考となる。

In the global GX context

This paper contributes to global debates on climate finance governance by providing empirical evidence from Vanuatu on how accountability mechanisms can become disciplinary tools. It challenges the assumption that compliance-focused access frameworks ensure justice, and offers critical insights for reforming multilateral climate funds like the Green Climate Fund, relevant to global discussions on climate justice and effective adaptation funding.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Critical climate geographers and governance scholars will appreciate the ethnographic depth and the application of imperial literacy to analyze the epistemic and infrastructural dimensions of climate finance access.

🏢実務担当者:Practitioners involved in climate finance readiness and project implementation should consider how donor-driven accountability frameworks might undermine local ownership and priorities.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers at multilateral climate funds and donor agencies should reflect on the unintended consequences of stringent compliance and audit cultures in shaping climate finance access.

📄 Abstract（原文）

The climate crisis is a lived reality in the Pacific. In Vanuatu, slow-onset and extreme weather events threaten coastal infrastructures, food security, and socio-cultural practices. Addressing these impacts requires substantial financial resources to address adaptation and losses and damages. Multilateral climate finance has been positioned as a mechanism of climate justice, yet access to these funds remains highly constrained. Drawing on a governmentality-informed political ethnography grounded in Pasifika scholarship and fieldwork in Vanuatu's climate finance nexus, this paper shifts analytical focus from flows of finance to its infrastructures of access. It argues that green funds – particularly the Green Climate Fund – operate as disciplinary regimes that produce parallel governance structures and donor-centred accountability relations. The paper shows what it means to become ‘ready’, yet remain disciplined in a global system that continues to equate justice with compliance. Via projectification, audit cultures and risk frameworks, green funds restructure local institutions around donor logics, often undermining locally defined priorities. Engaging Tracey Banivanua Mar's notion of imperial literacy, the paper further illuminates the epistemic labour required to navigate legibility and compliance within climate finance governance. While remaining contested in Vanuatu, these practices normalise external control and translate historically entrenched inequalities into seemingly neutral technical standards. By treating climate finance as a constitutive site where accountability, discipline and legibility are produced, the paper adds empirical depth to critical climate geographies by extending debates into the highly technical – yet deeply political – empirical and epistemic terrain of climate finance access infrastructures.
