Financing Climate Action: India in a Global Context is the outcome of a project titled ‘Building Roadmaps for Industrial Decarbonisation and Green Economy-2’ (BRIDGE-2), undertaken by us at IIM Calcutta from October 2023. The volume seeks to contribute to the discussion around climate finance, and it does so by clearly focusing on the plurality of viewpoints (with 71 contributors and 37 affiliations) that have emerged so that in taking the debate forward, all these may be considered. The process commenced with a brainstorming workshop on 17 and 18 April 2024 (40 delegates from 30 institutions), followed by a writers’ workshop on 6 and 7 August 2024 (51 delegates from 37 institutions) to build-in detailed peer review into the development of the volume as well as a mechanism to ensure coherence and connections between chapters. Further, an editorial committee comprising Dhruba Purkayastha (then Director for Growth, Council for Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW)), Mritiunjoy Mohanty (Retd Professor, IIM Calcutta), Runa Sarkar (Professor, IIM Calcutta) and Vibhuti Garg (Director, South Asia, Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA)) oversaw the process and made the final selection of chapters for the volume. Mritiunjoy Mohanty and Runa Sarkar then took over for the more hands-on editorial tasks, including connecting with Routledge for publication of the volume. Since the time we commenced our work, the world has changed in myriad ways, so much so that the current geopolitical scenario has dwarfed the disappointment about the COP29 outcomes. Yet the problem of global warming continues to stare us in the face, and therefore, the need for climate finance and finding ways to structure it are as important if not more than before. Although the context for the upcoming COP30 in Belem could not be more different than the prior one in Baku, the need to find collective solutions is even more pressing. This volume speaks to that and provides a wide-angle view of the financing aspects in dealing with the challenges posed by climate change – mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage – addressing these issues at both micro and macro levels as well as integrating them in terms of an appropriate governance structure. Climate finance is squarely located within a discussion of the overall macroeconomy and how this might shape resource flows towards the real economy as well as market functioning. This volume would not have seen the light of day without institutional support, in particular that of our former director, Professor Uttam Sarkar, and our then director-in-charge, Professor Saibal Chattopadhyay. Rapporteuring support from our doctoral students Manhar Manchanda, Shubham Ojha, Satpute Ravi Ashok, as well as research associates Debarup Bhattacharya and Saptorshee Chakraborty for the two workshops is acknowledged as is the support from Aryan Panwar, academic associate, particularly when we faced a serious time crunch. Ananya Mondal’s unstinting efforts at backstopping both workshops ensured that these were successfully concluded. She also held fort with all the groundwork to put together this volume, considerably lightening our workload. Finally, a big thank you to Ajit Mondal for the endless cups of coffee served with an encouraging smile to keep us going. Shoma Choudhury has always been encouraging, and her team at Routledge has gone out of the way to support us in this endeavour. We would also like to acknowledge and thank our anonymous reviewers, whose comments have enriched and sharpened our work. Of course, this resource is the outcome of the discussions of the two workshops on 17 and 18 April, 2024, and 6 and 7 August, 2024, and we cannot thank every workshop and writeshop attendee enough for their engaged participation. Every contributor to this volume has been patient, cooperative and responsive, making our lives as editors much easier. Today, the research web we established with the coal volume is even more vibrant and has widened and deepened. This network has played a very important role in shaping this volume. That today, there is a network of academics and policy practitioners working together and sharing ideas on financing, at the frontiers of climate change, is perhaps the biggest gift of this volume, for which we will always remain grateful.
