The Politics of Climate Change with Max Ajl

On Thursday 29 August, we welcome agrarian sociologist Max Ajl, author of A People’s Green New Deal to discuss how the various green transition movements can not only tell us about where we are, but what we need to do in order to bring about actionable policy change. Ajl diagnoses the roots of the current socio-ecological crisis as emerging from a world-system dominated by the logics of capitalism and imperialism. Resolving this crisis, he argues, requires nothing less than an infrastructural and agricultural transformation in the Global North, and the industrial convergence between North and South. 

In this event, a collaboration with De Dépendance, Rotterdam's platform for city culture and public debate,  Max Ajl will give a lecture on what we can and must do in order to mobilise not only against climate change, but also towards a more hopeful and just future. Ajl will also go in conversation with Rosemarie van Ham, advisor Inclusive Climate Action Rotterdam (ICAR) at City of Rotterdam. This event will be moderated by Nature of Hope co-curator Hani Salih.
