Climate Change Governance in Focus: Insights from Geoff Mann

Note: This will be a hybrid event. Those who register will also receive the Zoom link.

Join us on March 21st as we host Professor Geoff Mann from Simon Fraser University as part of our Climate Change & Democracy Series. Professor Mann will explore his timely research on the political economy and broader politics surrounding climate change. Drawing from his co-authored work Climate Leviathan: A Political Theory of Our Planetary Future (Verso, 2018), Mann will delve into the challenges posed by global climate change to our contemporary order. This seminal work introduces the concept of the “Climate Leviathan” — an emergent form of liberal-capitalist planetary order inherent in the hegemonic model of global climate governance.

During his presentation, Professor Mann will navigate the complexities of this concept, emphasizing the critical understanding that the consequences of climate change extend far beyond the ecological realm, profoundly impacting politics.
