Seminar 4: In conversation with Andreas Malm on The Long Heat: Climate politics when it’s too late
The world is crossing the 1.5°C global warming limit, perhaps exceeding 2°C soon after. What is to be done when these boundaries, set by the Paris Agreement, have been passed? Schemes proliferate for adaptation or for new technologies to turn the heat down at a later date by removing CO2 from the air or blocking sunlight. The Long Heat maps the new front lines in the struggle for a liveable planet and insists on the climate revolution long overdue. In the end, no technology can absolve us of responsibility for our planet and each other.
But what will this climate revolution look like? How will it play out across the global North and South? Is there room for a Leftist global democratic movement in the context of the Far-Right’s green backlash? The panelists will discuss these issues after Malm’s presentation of his book The Long Heat.
After Malm’s presentation, there will be a panel discussion with
- Andreas Malm, University of Lund
- Stefano Ponte, Copenhagen Business School
- Isabel Froes, Copenhagen Business School
- Moderator: Lindsay Whitfield, Copenhagen Business School
