Climate Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century
Jayati Ghosh, Shouvik Chakraborty, Debamanyu Das
Abstract
Climate imperialism has emerged as a new—and potentially even the most lethal—form of imperialism in the world economy today. Confronting it requires recognizing and dealing with all its different aspects. But it also requires addressing the monopolies of knowledge created by the global regime of intellectual property rights that has been instituted and cemented by hegemonic world powers.
