Climate change is no longer (or not in the first place) a simple matter of ecological crisis, but rather a key factor affecting the transformation of the global political-economic order and even our imagination about the possible futures.

The presenters will provide valuable insights into climate change, global capitalism and social philosophy, which might be particularly informative for the audience in Japan, where the topics in ecology are still far from being recognized as political and ideological issues.
