‘It’s crucial to remember that within the context of climate change in Palestine, as an example, there’s a hundred-year history of infrastructure being put in place that led to the current war economy and that led to the current power that the Israeli government has. Palestinians are in the situation that they’re in because of a political economy embedded in pipelines filled with blood over hundreds of years, built by the British mandate, and the Anglo-Iranian company, and the Seven Sisters in the mid-1900s. There is also a lot of corporate complicity and embeddedness across global industries, trade, and fossil fuels that contribute to the issue. …
It’s the same thing with climate change. … No form of green transition will help us get out of it without structural change.’
