ROOM 5 (Question 5): HOW TO FINANCE THE GLOBAL CLIMATE TRANSITION AND THE
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS? In the 2021 United Nations Climate Change
Conference in Glasgow, 'COP26', a key discussion involved how to provide the financing
required to permit countries around the world to mitigate and/or adapt to global
warming. The main financing proposal advanced at COP26 was 'blended finance',
proposed by a special expert panel in a 2018 G-20 report. In 'blended finance', the giant
private-sector banks and shadow banks at the heart of the globalized financial system

5.1. Summarize the key steps in the development and growth of financialization and of
the deregulated global financial system in the past four decades. Was the 'global
financial crisis' that broke out in 2007 and persisted for some years - encompassing the
US, Europe, and countries around the world - a predictable consequence of structural
flaws in this system of financialization, which emerged in a regime of globally mobile
finance; or was it avoidable? (Streeck, Varoufakis, Dymski, Tooze, 2018) (50%)
5.2. What are the key steps needed to make the globalized financial system a reliable
means of financing for the global transition and for the sustainable development goals,
instead of a continuing sink for central-bank support? In your answer, be sure to discuss
whether the flaws in this system of globalized finance been corrected after the great
financial crisis (Tooze (2022), Dymski (2018, 2019))) (30%).

5.3. In light of your discussion in 5.1 and 5.2, how can the 'blended finance' advocated in
Glasgow be modified so It can work? (If you argue that the idea as proposed requires no
modification, defend that view.) (20%)
