    Define dangerous: Prof. Kevin Anderson on the discrepancies between rhetoric and reality and the deeply inadequate response to the climate emergency a decade after Paris

    Scholar-activist Kevin Anderson, professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester and Uppsala University, provides a quantitative analysis of the response to the climate emergency that, simply put, does not add up relative to the dangers of climate disruption. In conversation with EHL Director Rob Gioielli, Prof. Anderson also discusses climate justice, the role of scientists, and structural factors that continue to impede efforts to reduce emissions despite the Paris Agreement’s adoption a decade ago.

These themes were encapsulated in his landmark 2011 book Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the Age of Oil and reflected in his 2024 Stockholm Archipelago Lecture “On Rivercide: The Colonial Origins of Creative Destruction”.  Prof. Mitchell sat down with EHL Director Rob Gioielli in December 2024 while in Stockholm to deliver the 13th Archipelago Lecture, the annual flagship event of the Environmental Humanities Laboratory at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
