Jessica F. Green, a political science professor at the University of Toronto and author of "Existential Politics," critiques the effectiveness of COP negotiations. She argues that the current win-win approach neglects the need for accountability, especially targeting powerful fossil asset owners. Green exposes the flaws in carbon accounting and the commodification of carbon offsets, presenting 'radical pragmatism' as a necessary shift. She highlights how wealth inequality drives emissions and discusses potential reforms, including global taxes to empower green stakeholders.
