“…The existing literature has discussed climate change issues in developed countries, as the dominant research institutions in climate policy and governance research are mostly based in the United States and European countries. However, climate change is expected to jeopardize sustainable development in both developed and developing countries, and the effects will be more challenging for the latter, where adaptation planners may not have the skills required to perform vulnerability assessments (Chaudhury et al, 2017). Climate research on developing countries is thus urgently needed.…”

Research on climate policy and governance has rapidly evolved since the early 1990s, yet there is a lack of a systematic review, especially in quantitative methods, that provides an overall account of this interdisciplinary field. This article provides a bibliometric analysis of 2487 SSCI journal articles published from 1990 to 2018 to characterize the intellectual landscape of climate policy and governance literature by visualizing the changes in researchers' collaboration and publications' cocitation and identifying the emerging research agenda. The findings show that publications on this topic have surged since the Kyoto Protocol came into effect in 2005. Environmental studies, economics, and public administration are three major disciplines drawing high attention to this field. Scholars and research institutions from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany have maintained dominance over climate policy and governance design. Moreover, we identify three pressing topics for creating future research agendas, including adaptive capacity, technology and innovation, and urban governance. Green technology innovation, local climate governance and the increasing political awareness will become future research trends.

“…Because, actual and ascertained risks, uncertainties in research results, and interests may shift with the concerns and priorities of researchers and more obviously the stakeholders. Comprehensive approaches for focused research conduction and capacity-building are necessary for local as well as national scale benefits of any research experience sharing and implementation through local as well as national governments, respectively ( Campbell et al, 2016 ; Chaudhury et al, 2017 ).…”

Climatic variability has been acquiring an extensive consideration due to its widespread ability to impact food production and livelihoods. Climate change has the potential to intersperse global approaches in alleviating hunger and undernutrition. It is hypothesized that climate shifts bring substantial negative impacts on food production systems, thereby intimidating food security. Vast developments have been made addressing the global climate change, undernourishment, and hunger for the last few decades, partly due to the increase in food productivity through augmented agricultural managements. However, the growing population has increased the demand for food, putting pressure on food systems. Moreover, the potential climate change impacts are still unclear more obviously at the regional scales. Climate change is expected to boost food insecurity challenges in areas already vulnerable to climate change. Human-induced climate change is expected to impact food quality, quantity, and potentiality to dispense it equitably. Global capabilities to ascertain the food security and nutritional reasonableness facing expeditious shifts in biophysical conditions are likely to be the main factors determining the level of global disease incidence. It can be apprehended that all food security components (mainly food access and utilization) likely be under indirect effect via pledged impacts on ménage, incomes, and damages to health. The corroboration supports the dire need for huge focused investments in mitigation and adaptation measures to have sustainable, climate-smart, eco-friendly, and climate stress resilient food production systems. In this paper, we discussed the foremost pathways of how climate change impacts our food production systems as well as the social, and economic factors that in the mastery of unbiased food distribution. Likewise, we analyze the research gaps and biases about climate change and food security. Climate change is often responsible for food insecurity issues, not focusing on the fact that food production systems have magnified the climate change process. Provided the critical threats to food security, the focus needs to be shifted to an implementation oriented-agenda to potentially cope with current challenges. Therefore, this review seeks to have a more unprejudiced view and thus interpret the fusion association between climate change and food security by imperatively scrutinizing all factors.

“…They can support development and diffusion by sharing this knowledge widely across the network, helping subsequent projects to benefit from the accumulated experience [64]. International AEs, national AEs, and other intermediaries can be encouraged (or mandated) to collaborate on projects, as climate change is too complex for a single intermediary to tackle, and requires the participation of many actors to succeed [65]. The AEs and other intermediaries can bring their respective expertise and roles to develop robust projects and meet the GCF's central objective of country ownership.…”

Role of Intermediaries in Shaping Climate Finance in Developing Countries—Lessons from the Green Climate Fund

Social scientists are increasingly interested in the processes that give shape to global policy solutions. I investigate the issues of intermediation and the role of intermediaries in climate finance. I use the case of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), a new consortium for dedicated funding set up under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to assist developing countries in responding to climate threats, to ask a fundamental question: What role do intermediaries (GCF-accredited and related entities) play in catalysing climate action through climate finance in these countries? This paper offers three propositions focused on the role of intermediaries in the GCF, and tests these using data from the GCF and the wider literature. The results show a growing dominance of international intermediaries in GCF project development and implementation, the low capacity of national intermediaries to conceive and scale projects, and the mismatch between planned and actual funding allocations. Collectively, these outcomes derail the GCF from its core objectives of promoting country ownership of projects, building capacity of local intermediaries, and equitable allocation of funding between mitigation and adaptation. I offer three learning models to help the GCF and intermediaries capitalise on the early lessons from GCF activities and to scale climate finance effectively in developing countries.
