An excellent response to the question on how to speak to CEOs.

There's actually a book called 'Environmentalism of the Rich' by Peter Dauvergne. An excellent read.

Nancy Fraser potently connected eco-politics to her previous critiques, while concisely deconstructing the social dynamics of the present. Therefore, her strength is in pulling together the various strands of environmentalism into a political project that is material, historicized, contextualized, and to justice struggles, insisting the binding thread, on which we must focus, is the system of capitalist social organization. However, that is also a tremendous weakness, in my opinion. First, most of the working class she hopes to coalesce together exist within that system, struggle for survival, and have proven willing to defend their means of subsistence (with their lives). Second, bringing environmentalism from thematic, niche identity preference back to class conflict at first appears tactically coherent, however if realized, there is reason expect a return of 20th century left-right antagonism, bargaining and compromise. In other words, the politics of the past haven’t worked on this problem, and this problem is different. The time scale is immediate, the cost of failure unbearable, and once impacts occur to convince a bloc of groups, it will literally be too late. So Nancy, you’re right, but on this new struggle we certainly have to use other methods that are more inclusive, and more precise. Perhaps, recast the narrative of emancipation without progress and add minimalism as ideology, or ally with belief systems to reclaim a moral or meta-physical end-point, bribe the global south, make a deal with the financial sector, sabotage the global economy with global labour or hunger strikes…etc
