Kyoto’s ‘fl exible mechanisms’ and the right to pollute the air 1 Achim Brunnengräber The current fi nancial and economic crises are generating pressures towards the regulation of the global capitalist economy, but the much-heralded strategies for reform remain mere piecework and seem to have reached their limits long before the crisis has run its course. After all, their primary focus is on the revitalisation of the banking and trade sectors, not on global environmental issues. The relapse suff ered by Angela Merkel – once hailed as the ‘climate chancellor’, now considered once again a run-of-the-mill car and industry chancellor – shows that during a crisis, the environment has no lobby. To be sure, environmental organisations, green (wings of) parties, engaged scientists and international environmental and development NGOs issue regular reminders about the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol. But that, too, is symptomatic of the problem: the crisis has not led to a critique of market-based instruments, but rather to an ever more desperate attempt to cling to them, in spite of all their weaknesses, for beyond them there seems to be nothing but political wilderness. This makes a critique of the political economy of climate change all the more important. 1 1 For a more detailed exposition of this argument cf., Brunnengräber (2009), Die politische Ökonomie des Klimawandels. 26 Critical Currents no. 6 Achim Brunnengräber is at the Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science, Free University, Berlin. His research areas are environmental governance, energy policy, climate change policy and politics, vulnerability and adaptation.
