Conversations on Europe: The History of Environmentalism: Right, Left, Center

Subtitle: 
Year of Sustainability
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Tue, 09/03/2024 - 12:30

Reactionary? Progressive? Localist? Globalist? How do our climate politics line up? This panel will explore the history of environmentalism as a way of thinking about the spectrum of political positions in climate response. Recall that the oil shock, acid rain, nuclear energy protests at Wyhl, concern over DDT, all in the 1970s generated a new environmental activism: citizens initiatives in civil disobedience against business and state. In Germany and elsewhere very disparate interests came together to form what was understood as a new progressive political party: the Greens.
