ERN-Environmental Engagements: talks
Ulrich Brand "Towards a greening of capitalism? Problems of ecological modernisation, green growth perspectives and "green extractivism"
Vortrag
About the talk:
Societies around the global and their political and economic elites start to understand how severe the climate crisis is - and how dramatically it will further develop in the future. But the deepening of the crisis will occur unevenly, i.e. it will affect more the socially vulnerable groups and the countries of the global South which have less resources for climate adaptation measures. And the dealing with the crisis will probably take place within a corridor what can be called "ecological modernisation". But such a modernisation will not deal with the root causes of the crisis, i.e. the expansionary logics of capitalism, a political and economic world order that reduces many countries of the global South to deliver commodities to Northern countries - also for the greening of their economies. Recent research calls this "green extractivism". Is there any alternative to those dynamics?
