Postscript, an end to the war on nature: COP in or COP out?

摘要

In this editorial postscript, we return to a primary theme of this special issue on Economics and Climate Emergency. We elaborate on some aspects of, and reasons why we need, urgent and radical transformative change. We briefly update the trends affecting climate change and ecological breakdown, assess the need for an end to the 'war on nature', which resists a dichotomy between our species and nature and make some comments on the COP process and ways forward which resist 'trasformismo', while embracing the need for just transitions, degrowth and practices rooted in such concepts as 'transversalism'.
