Please join us for a lively discussion of the new book Carbon Criminals: Climate Crimes, which takes a criminological perspective towards the climate crisis. Unlike many climate justice books that focus on causality, and have a doom and gloom approach, this book focuses on the role that large corporations and the global political community played in leading to the current climate crisis, including approaches that have been and could have been taken to mitigate the current climate situation. This content is viewed under the umbrella of the American predatory capitalist system and the juxtaposition of corporate earnings versus a responsible and ethical approach to global climate justice. The book is a quick yet fascinating read and concludes on a positive note in terms of how we can best deal with greenhouse gas emissions, the loss of ecological inhabitants, and supporting proactive strategies towards the ongoing climate crisis.
Please join us as we work together to chart a more optimistic route through the climate crisis.
Tuesdays: July 12, 19, 26 and Aug 2, 9, 16 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
10 PD Hours* | 15 seats maximum.
