Memorandum on Environmental Accelerationism
1.Definition of environmental accelerationism
- Environmental accelerationism is an environmental thought that seeks to manage, control, and regulate the global ecosystem through the power of science and technology, thereby overcoming the limits of the “one earth amount” of global ecosystem (natural environment) while basically maintaining the current social and economic systems.
- Environmental accelerationism will grow as one environmental thought in environmental discourses that has seen the downfall of ecological thought and has lost sight of perspectives other than problem solving. And it will eventually become a mainstream in environmental discourses, defeating degrowth and absorbing green growth.
- We are now living at a turning point in environmental thought, and in a world where environmental accelerationism has triumphed, the problem is how we can talk about the environment in the future.
