Beskrivning
Climate Change Solutions represents an application of critical theory to examine proposed solutions to climate change. Drawing from Marx’s negative conception of ideology, the authors illustrate how ideology continues to conceal the capital-climate contradiction or the fundamental incompatibility between growth-dependent capitalism and effectively and justly mitigating climate change. Dominant solutions to climate change that offer minor changes to the current system fail to address this contradiction. However, alternatives like degrowth involve a shift in priorities and power relations and can offer new systemic arrangements that confront and move beyond the capital-climate contradiction. While there are clear barriers to a systemic transition that prioritizes social and ecological well-being, such a transition is possible and desirable.

Recensioner i media

Climate Change Solutions is a profoundly insightful book that is essential reading for understanding the environmental crises we face and how we might survive these crises. Stuart, Gunderson, and Petersen are masterful scholars, who ably critique technological-fixes and green capitalism to explain why we need to fundamentally change the political-economic order to overcome the climate catastrophe now unfolding and build a just and livable world.
