Around the world, leading economies are announcing significant
progress on climate change. World leaders are queuing up to
proclaim their commitment to tackling the climate crisis, pointing
to data that shows the progress they have made. Yet the atmosphere
is still warming at a record rate, with devastating effects on
poverty and precarity in the world's most vulnerable communities.
Are we being deceived? Climate change is devastating the planet,
and globalisation is hiding it. This book opens our eyes. Carbon
colonialism explores the murky practices of outsourcing a country's
environmental impact, where emissions and waste are exported from
rich countries to poorer ones; a world in which corporations and
countries are allowed to maintain a clean, green image while
landfills in the world's poorest countries continue to expand, and
droughts and floods intensify under the auspices of globalisation,
deregulation and economic growth. Taking a wide-ranging, culturally
engaged approach to the topic, the book shows how this is not only
a technical problem, but a problem of cultural and political
systems and structures - from nationalism to economic logic -
deeply embedded in our society. -- .
