Lectures on the Post-Carbon Society
Better with less?: De-growth, austerity and wellbeing
University of Valencia (Spain)
6, 7 and 8 October 2014

In a post-carbon society, the supply of fossil fuels decreases from year to year. The transition to such a society is determined by the need to address climate change or by oil and gas depletion (or by complex combinations of both factors). This transition is not a more or less speculative guess about the future but, rather, an inescapable horizon which conditions the possible pathways of social change. It does not only involve technological and political changes but also a profound transformation in lifestyles, consumer patterns and urbanization models, as well as many other aspects relative to social organisation.
The objective of this series of lectures is to connect the issues of post-carbon transition to ongoing debates about the economic, social and political crisis, trying to show, from a plurality of approaches, that these issues are not at all alien to today's most pressing problems.
