ABSTRACT

Commentators across the political spectrum have interpreted the social, political and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and invariably suggested that, along with climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic requires an interventionist policy response from government. In this paper, we interpret definitions of green growth as ‘mission-oriented approaches’ to the ‘twin crises’ of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, examining the changing role of the state in confronting environmental issues in an era of climate and health pandemic. Both events have had, and will continue to have, important implications for work and employment. Thus, we evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on climate change, asking: to what extent have mission-oriented policy responses to COVID-19 impacted climate change action? We then broadly examine the impact of COVID-19 on labour globally and more closely, the possible impacts of a range of policy response options for Australia, assessing their position on a theoretical spectrum of ‘ecological modernisation’ that points to further policy development that can push responses beyond capitalism.

COVID-19 后应对气候变化的政策:超越资本主义?

摘要

各个政治领域的评论员都解释了 COVID-19 大流行的社会、政治和经济后果,并一致建议,随着气候变化,COVID-19 大流行需要政府采取干预主义政策回应。在本文中,我们将绿色增长的定义解释为应对 COVID-19 大流行和气候变化的“双重危机”的“以使命为导向的方法”,考察国家在气候和气候变化时代在应对环境问题方面的角色变化。健康大流行。这两个事件已经并将继续对工作和就业产生重要影响。因此,我们评估了 COVID-19 对气候变化的影响,并询问:针对 COVID-19 的以使命为导向的政策反应在多大程度上影响了气候变化行动?然后,我们广泛研究 COVID-19 对全球劳动力的影响,更仔细地研究澳大利亚一系列政策应对方案的可能影响,评估它们在“生态现代化”理论范围内的立场,指出进一步的政策发展可以将反应推到资本主义之外。
