Опис книги

Political elites have been evading the causes of climate change through deceptive fixes. Their market-type instruments such as carbon trading aim to incentivise technological innovation which will supposedly decarbonize or replace dominant high-carbon systems. In practice this techno-market framework has perpetuated climate change and social injustices, thus provoking public controversy. Using this opportunity, social movements have counterposed low-carbon, resource-light, socially just alternatives. Such transformative mobilisations can fulfil the popular slogan, ‘System Change Not Climate Change’. This book develops key critical concepts through case studies such as GM crops, biofuels, waste incineration and Green New Deal agendas.The slogan ‘System Change Not Climate Change’ neatly summarises many climate protestors’ calls to transform the dominant production systems causing climate change. While the political system advocates the existing strategies of carbon trading and future technologies, Les Levidow argues that this techno-market framework perpetuates environmental harm. This book moves beyond a critique of the solutions offered by the neoliberal order to explore alternative policies for real system change.
