The Existential Fight Against Climate Change: Survival Cosmopolitanism vs the Nation-State
Abstract dell'evento
The fight against climate change is an existential challenge that creates tension between two governance models: international cooperation, defined by the practice of "survival cosmopolitanism", and the nation-state, most often defined by the antagonistic ideology of nationalism.
On the one hand, the concept of "survival cosmopolitanism" calls for global cooperation across national boundaries as well as all the branches of the social and the hard sciences. This vital need is perfectly synthesised by the notion of "planetary boundaries "(Rockstrom et al. 2009, 2023) that powerfully calls for sharing the burden of responsibility to address ecological crises transcending frontiers, boundaries and borders.
On the other hand, nation-states often respond with policies rooted in territorial sovereignty and short-term economic interests, hindering coordinated solutions. Daniele Conversi's presentation explores the conflict between these two approaches, analysing the political, economic, and social implications of the climate crisis and evaluating strategies to overcome the geopolitical deadlock.
