Title: Climate capitalism: global warming and the transformation of the global economy Authors: Peter Newell and Matthew Paterson Year: 2010

In "Climate capitalism: global warming and the transformation of the global economy," Newell and Paterson (2010) discuss how the global economy is being transformed in response to the challenges posed by climate change. The authors argue that addressing climate change requires not only technological and policy innovations but also the mobilization of substantial financial resources from both the public and private sectors.

The book explores the role of various actors, including businesses, governments, and civil society organizations, in driving climate-friendly investments and innovations. It also discusses the importance of securing significant financial resources to create a momentum that attracts even larger investments. A high-impact, large-scale campaign or project that addresses climate change can draw the attention of major investors and donors who recognize the value and importance of tackling this global challenge. The authors emphasize that understanding and harnessing the power of financial resources is crucial to effectively addressing climate change and transforming the global economy.
