Their market-type instruments such as carbon trading aim to incentivise technological innovation which will supposedly decarbonize or replace dominant high-carbon systems.  In practice this techno-market framework has perpetuated climate change and social injustices, thus provoking public controversy.  Using this opportunity, social movements have counterposed low-carbon, resource-light, socially just alternatives.   Such transformative mobilisations can fulfil the popular slogan, ‘System Change Not Climate Change’. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book develops key critical concepts through case studies such as GM crops, biofuels, waste incineration and Green New Deal agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40837533925473,"sku":"9781529222395","price":29.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_40839046_6d281688-3b7e-4117-b62b-6f4b8a889a31.jpg?v=1776406660","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529222395-beyond-climate-fixes","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
