Climate Capitalism
The energy transition has arrived – or at least, the material impacts of green technologies have, along with fantastic amounts of hot air from corporations keen to big up their contributions.
In this issue, we examine the changes that are taking shape, and how the new economy is replicating the exploitative practices of the old one. And we ask what it would take to build something better and tackle climate change head-on.
Issue highlights:
