Climate & Sustainability

1 videos • 1 views • by IDEAS at JGU Newly launch constellation by IDEAS Climatic changes are the result of economic inequalities on the one hand and deepens them further, on the other. The constellation is an effort to bring about the discussions around politics, economics, employment, finance, indigenous communities and pedagogy of climate. The engagement will highlight the inter-relation between climate and vulnerable communities. Further, climate finance is a new tool which aims to mobilise money in the fight for climate change. The fundamental dilemma that climate change projects have separate targets may not align well with the money making instincts of the financial sector. However they cannot afford to neglect the catastrophic ends of their invested projects. The constellation will help start discussions around climate finance and how funds can be raised to address climate change. It would also contribute to the discussions around valuation and pricing and whether we need fundamental shifts in how we value and price projects. Central to the constellation would be shifting the gaze from climate for anthropocene to anthropocene for climate preservation.
