If we accept that fossil fueled, growth-based capitalism is incompatible with the goal of stabilizing the climate, and that a stable climate is a desirable goal, then how might we re-envision capitalism? What are the major changes that would need to occur to the global capitalist economy to allow it to exist harmoniously with the climate? What economic sectors might see growth? Which might see contraction? How can we assure that such a transformation occurs justly? What are some potential drawbacks or challenges to this transformation?
