本研究は、気候金融がアフリカの気候適応に与える影響を批判的政治経済学の視点から分析する。グリーン気候基金や公正エネルギー移行パートナーシップなどのメカニズムを検討し、資金フローが構造的不平等を再生産していると主張。アフリカが受ける気候資金は限定的で、地域内でも不均等、融資が中心であることを示す。市場主導の気候行動への移行が衡平性の原則を弱めると警告する。
English
This study critically analyzes climate finance's impact on Africa's adaptation, using a Neo-Gramscian perspective. It examines mechanisms like the Green Climate Fund and Just Energy Transition Partnerships, finding that financial flows reproduce structural asymmetries. Africa receives a marginal share of global climate finance, unevenly distributed and mostly as loans. The shift toward market-based climate action undermines equity and common but differentiated responsibilities.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate Finance is formally recognized as a tool of solidarity to assist vulnerable countries, yet the actual financial flows to the African Region reflect deep structural asymmetries. Therefore, this study is to examine climate finance as a political and power-laden mechanism focusing on its implications for the adaptation of climate agreements in the African region. The qualitative analytical approach based on policy documents, reports, and scholarly literature has been adapted to assess the functioning of mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund, Global Environment Facility, and emerging arrangements such as Just Energy Transition Partnerships that support African Nationally Determined Contribution implementation. The debates were drawn from a Neo-Gramscian perspective, arguing that climate finance has reproduced the structures of hegemonic governance, furthering the disparities rather than solving them. The findings reflect a persistent adaptation deficit, showing that Africa receives only a marginal share of global climate finance, and the finance flows are unevenly distributed among sub-regions, with a larger portion received as loans rather than grants. Thus, current dynamics and trends reveal a gradual shift from obligation-based public responsibility toward a market-prone, privatized mode of climate action, weakening the principle of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities. Without transformative reforms that prioritize grant-based, needs-driven, yet Africa - centered climate architecture governance, the existing structure might deepen the risks of dependency and undermine the development potential of climate agreements.
