Beyond Climate Fixes

<p>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'. </p><p> This book develops key critical concepts through case studies such as GM crops biofuels waste incineration and Green New Deal agendas.</p>
