“…What became known as the climate justice movement emerged out of this anticarbon market movement and broadened the frame of reference for contesting climate governance and understanding it in political economy terms Methmann, Rothe, & Stephan, 2013). Out of it has emerged movements against oil pipelines and the divestment movement (Bratman, Brunette, Shelly, & Nicholson, 2016;Rowe, Dempsey, & Gibbs, 2016).…”

Political economy approaches across the social sciences provide powerful explanations for important dynamics within the global response to climate change. This article discusses in particular how they provide explanations of the social origins of greenhouse gas emissions, the dominant policy and governance responses to climate change, recurrent political conflicts over these responses, and the patterns of bargaining between states, businesses, and other actors. Underlying these dynamics are a set of contradictions or tensions between the character of capitalism as a social system and the demands of decarbonizing the global economy, specifically: between the imperative for growth that constrains and shapes responses; concerning the power of large transnational businesses and other incumbent interests to block responses; and over the embeddedness of carbon emissions in daily life. The article explores the implications of these contradictions as well as some of the important theoretical debates about the limits of political economy approaches. This article is categorized under: Policy and Governance > Multilevel and Transnational Climate Change Governance Climate Economics > Economics and Climate Change

“…For instance, the additionality of emissions reduction in Contents lists available at ScienceDirect journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/enpol many offset projects (e.g. industrial gas offsets) cannot be guaranteed, meaning that offset is per se a zero-sum game, at best (Methmann et al, 2013). Furthermore, offsets may discourage and delay domestic activities and risk locking the EU into carbon-intensive infrastructure, rendering its ambitious long-term emissions target too expensive to achieve (Bows et al, 2009).…”

“…Overall, trusting politicians to manage the ecological crisis is at a low level. Against this background, more and more actors enhance the development of techno-fixestechnological solutions that promise to solve symptoms of complex problems without changing social structures (Methmann et al, 2013). In this context, CCS technologies are of particular interest as they are based on the established centralized fossil energy infrastructure (IPCC, 2005, p. 12).…”
