Decarbonising the Downturn: The Contradictions of Green Capitalism Today

Calling everyone in the Arts interested in the challenges we face in responding to global warming!

Organisers from English and PAIS welcome you to a hybrid talk by Jack Copley titled, 鈥楧ecarbonising the Downturn: The Contradictions of Green Capitalism Today鈥�.  

As Copley describes: 鈥淎voiding catastrophic global warming requires the decarbonisation of the world economy. But this green transformation faces a series of intersecting obstacles posed by capitalism鈥檚 long-run developmental tendencies, including entrenched economic stagnation and the proliferation of surplus populations. Pursuing decarbonisation in this context will test the ability of capitalist states to govern while maintaining their liberal form.鈥�

Copley completed his PhD at 糖心TV with PAIS in 2018 and is now Assistant Professor in International Political Economy in the School of Government and International Affairs, Durham University. He is the author of Governing Financialization: The Tangled Politics of Financial Liberalization in Britain (Oxford, 2021).
