Research Overview

Emerging countries face a challenge in the development of energy, infrastructure, and other carbon-intensive projects in pursuing welfare for their citizens. At the same time, these countries are also vulnerable to the impact of climate change. Therefore, the development of low carbon industries, the Paris Agreement, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 have become a significant concern for various nations. In shifting financings away from the risk of climate risk, organisational fields, include public sectors and related institutions, play a pivotal role in transforming to sustainable development. However, the engagement of salient stakeholders faced a major challenge in maintaining accountability within the dynamics of different interests. In this notion, this research aims to investigate boundary objects in relation to knowledge and power within the dynamic in articulating sustainability issues within green finance projects. In translating commitment to embrace sustainable finance, this research will examine three main issues. Firstly, how organisation fields articulate sustainability issues within project finance operations. Secondly, it aims to study how the intersectional works develop the coherency of the identity across them. Lastly, it intends to address how the impacts of these processes on the accountability of the organisation fields on their social and environmental assessment.
