Climate capitalism: can market-based solutions save the planet? [1]

['London School Of Economics', 'Political Science', 'Dr Benjamin Braun', 'Professor Brett Christophers', 'Professor Daniela Gabor', 'Professor Jonathan Hopkin']

Date: 2025-02

As the climate emergency intensifies, the efficacy of market-based solutions is under growing scrutiny. Can capitalism solve a crisis of its own making?

Is "green growth" a path to transformative change, or will it solely legitimise and perpetuate systemic inequalities? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the opportunities and challenges of market-based solutions in bringing about a livable and fair future for all.

The Ralph Miliband Programme (@RMilibandLSE) was set up in 1996 thanks to a generous anonymous benefaction from a former PhD student inspired by "Ralph Miliband's contribution to social thought". He specified that the funds be used in memory of his friend and mentor "to advance his spirit of free social inquiry" and the diversity of thought that has always been the hallmark of LSE.
