Ecomodernism... and a plea for depolarisation Mark Lynas' remarks at UK2020 event





Ecomodernism... and a plea for depolarisation
Mark Lynas' remarks at UK2020 event

"So here goes. Ecomodernism is not neoliberalism with a green tinge. It is not a cover for business as usual. It is not a free pass for corporate polluters to damage our environment. Nor is it a simplistic knee-jerk rejection of traditional environmentalism, but more of an attempt to recognise its limitations and move beyond it. Michael, Ted and I all have long experience in the environmental movement. We celebrate its achievements, and they are many, but recognise that we now need something new in a rapidly changing world.​"
