POST-EXTRACTIVIST GREEN TRANSITIONS: An interview with Thea Riofrancos

Grace speaks to Thea Riofrancos, Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College and author of Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador. They discuss the findings of the IPCC’s new report, whether it’s possible to imagine a green transition within capitalist social relations, and how the left can chart a path to decarbonisation that doesn’t compromise the earth’s other natural systems or communities.
