The unparalleled greening of democracy during the past half-century extends well beyond such matters as sustainability and climate justice and is far more consequential than the birth of green parties and policy disputes about carbon pricing schemes and global emissions targets, the following lecture proposes. Delivered recently at Vienna’s Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), it suggests a new way of thinking historically about the relationship among ecosystems, energy regimes and democracy. It also asks why people with green sympathies might be expected in our times to embrace democracy for more than tactical reasons?
