The socio-economics of loss and decline in the climate crisis

细分领域

The inequalities of damage and decline

Climate-related loss and decline, as well as the societal responses they trigger, have a direct relation to distributional outcomes between firms, industries, households, and societies. How do such stranding processes tie in and interact with economic, social and global inequalities? Who are the winners and losers of policies related to asset stranding, and how does this affect broader socio-economic issues? Are there different levels or types of affectedness, different levels or types of resistance or different capabilities of shaping stranding modalities? How can we conceptualize unequal capabilities to adapt to stranding in the climate crisis?

Varieties of asset stranding

How are varieties of capitalist societies, regions, and firms affected by climate-related damage and decline? Are there discernable configurations that link particular models or regimes of accumulation and growth with corresponding models or regimes of climate-related loss? Can socio-economic variety in various dimensions help explain variety in how societies deal with problems of asset stranding more broadly?

The socio-economics of climate risk

Asset stranding is intimately tied to capitalist societies’ ways of allocating and managing risks. Actual and anticipated losses interlock with compensatory schemes through welfare states, private insurance, preemptive state regulation and public assistance commitments. What socio-economic consequences result from such institutionalized responses in the climate crisis? How do increasingly common, costly and concentrated losses react back onto societal risk management?

The politics of stranding policies

Climate-related damage and decline creates considerable challenges for various issues of economic policy, such as, for example, challenges of concentrated loss, production chain reorganization and systemic risk management. How do these challenges affect employment, fiscal, monetary, industrial, skill formation and trade policies across the globe? How does asset stranding influence the producer group and electoral politics of economic policymaking?

Asset stranding and the world of finance

Financial and macroeconomic projections suggest that stranded assets can translate into major financial instability as sudden devaluation can have cascading effects on investment portfolios and market performance. Such systemic risks, however, seem to not yet have entered mainstream risk assessments by financial actors. How is stranding anticipated, initiated, shaped and managed by financial actors as well as regulators in financial markets?

Stranding and decline as an uneven process

Recent conflicts over transnational climate policy have highlighted that there is a major fault line of 21st century climate politics between poorer societies heavily affected by the environmental effects of occurring climate change and rich countries capable of orderly adaptation and large-scale compensation. As such, climate change mitigation and adaptation are problems of global scale – offering potential for exchange between hitherto compartmentalized regional studies communities. How do the global politics of climate-related loss and decline unfold at various levels of analysis?

The anticipatory politics of asset stranding

Opening up asset stranding to socio-economic scholarship involves investigating the processes of classification, evaluation, modeling and prediction that shape categories of stranded assets as well as the responses and reactivity that emerge from such categorizations. How do cultural processes and socio-political values impact future-oriented stranding decisions as well as the compensatory policies related to damage from climate change?
