I can’t live with or without you: Consequences of an ecological transformation on natural resource-dependent societies in the Global South
Corona is a turning point. A way back to normality is impossible or leads into new crises and dead ends. Actually, even within the political mainstream the importance of a socio-ecological transformation gains importance. The EU supports a European Green Deal and the OECD wants to “Build back better”. There is no doubt, that we need an ecological transformation in order to reduce the negative impacts of climate change. However, the current crisis also highlights the possible problems of a rapid energy transformation for societies that depend on the extraction and exportation of fossil energy. Whereas Covid-19 is pretty much “degrowth by disaster” the pandemic highlights the huge challenges of a socio-ecological transformation for large parts of the Global South. These societies are faced with a dilemma. On the one hand, they are especially affected by the negative consequences of climate change, and on the other hand, they also might be negatively affected by the implications of a global socio-ecological transformation. The talk discusses this dilemma based on a case study of the oil-based rentier society of Comodoro Rivadavia in Argentina and asks for a possible solution.
