The IRIS at York University and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is pleased to announce the campus book launch of Climate Change: Who's Carrying the Burden?, which will draw on comments from the book’s contributors and provide an opportunity for the York public to speak directly with this insightful group of thinkers.
The book highlights how climate change can hide historical contexts in terms of how the carbon economy can lead to exploitation of natural resources, colonialism and capitalism. This book reveals some of the complexities behind carbon trading systems and urges us to imagine new ways of living.
Refreshments will be provided.
“I believe that ideas matter deeply in determining our future as a nation. The CCPA is one of Canada’s leading sources of progressive policy ideas. Our work is rooted in the values of social justice and environmental sustainability. It is authoritative and accessible to a broad audience. As non corporate-funded policy think tanks continue to be silenced, the importance of the Centre has never been greater.”
