In this article, we leverage a world-ecology approach to unpack and make sense of green bonds as public/private constructions that shape and subordinate the complex ecologies of territories to the needs of finance and reproduce the global patterns of uneven development and capitalist accumulation. Through the study of recent green bond issuances realized by private companies active in the forestry sector in Brazil, we discuss how green bonds as a “new” form of “green” debt put nature at work and transform the territories and natural elements in the global south into “temporal and spatial fixes” for the needs of global financial capital.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of World-Systems Research}, author={Ferrando, Tomaso and De Oliveira Junqueira, Gabriela and Vecchione-Gonçalves, Marcela and Miola, Iagê and Marques Prol, Flávio and Herrera, Hector}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={410–438} }
