Carbon Markets in a Climate-changing Capitalism

The promise of harnessing market forces to combat climate change has been unsettled by low carbon prices, financial losses, and ongoing controversies in global carbon markets. And yet governments around the world remain committed to market-based solutions to bring down greenhouse gas emissions.

This book discusses what went wrong with the marketisation of climate change and what this means for the future of action on climate change.

The book explores the co-production of capitalism and climate change by developing new understandings of relationships between the appropriation, commodification, and capitalisation of nature.
