Decarbonising and Decolonising Economics

Why Climate Justice Demands Decolonising Decarbonisation

This book examines the relationship between climate change and colonisation within the global economy, showing how imperialism has enabled the exploitation of resources for the benefit of the Global North.

This book examines the relationship between climate change and colonisation within the global economy, showing how imperialism has enabled the exploitation of resources for the benefit of the Global North. Bringing together diverse perspectives from across economics, it highlights how the global decarbonisation agenda has been constrained by Western economic systems and knowledge production. By exploring how economics can become more inclusive and aligned with ecological demands, it presents ways in which the global economy can be transformed to address socio-economics inequalities and climate change. The historical causes of social injustice are evaluated to provide context for the need for climate justice and non-Western theories of sustainable development.

This book demonstrates how the cycle of colonisation and resource exploitation can be broken. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in environmental economics, the political economy, and development economics.
