The corporate capture of sustainable development and its transformation into a ‘good Anthropocene’ historical bloc

Abstract: Inspired by Antonio Gramsci’s analysis of bourgeois hegemony and his theoretical formulation of historical blocs, this paper attempts to explain how the concept and practice of sustainable development were captured by corporate interests in the last few decades of the twentieth century and how they were transformed into what we can name a ‘good Anthropocene’ historical bloc at the beginning of the twentyfirst century. This corporate capture is theorised in terms of the transnational capitalist class as represe… Show more

“…Esta começa a ser lapidada ao final dos anos de 1980 e é expresso no Relatório Brundtland como "aquele que atende às necessidades do presente sem comprometer a possibilidade de as gerações futuras atenderem as suas próprias necessidades" (Comissão Mundial sobre Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento, 1991, p. 46). Esse relatório é considerado o início da institucionalização do termo e do ambientalismo liberal em nível global (Sklair, 2019). O desenvolvimento sustentável prega um crescimento mais equitativo com o uso dos recursos tecnológicos para diminuir os impactos ambientais nos "recursos naturais".…”
