## Resource

Is the climate transition really happening? If so, what does it look like in reality? Has its promises been broken? Who profits and who loses? Should the environmental movement actually resist climate transition, and how? Dr Nicholas Beuret is Lecturer at Essex Business School, University of Essex. He joins Josh White to talk about his book Or Something Worse: Why We Need to Disrupt the Climate Transition (2025), published with Verso. They discuss the realities of the climate crisis for people in the UK today; the relationship between climate and the cost-of-living crisis; how 'the installation economy' is a far cry from the green jobs we were promised; the new spheres of accumulation forged in climate transition; and the need for a militant environmental movement and worker organising to disrupt its injustices. 'New Thinking in Political Economy' is a monthly podcast showcasing cutting-edge political economy research that helps us to understand the world around us. This episode is produced by the SPERI Presents… committee, including Remi Edwards, Chris Saltmarsh, Josh White, Frank Maracchione, and Andrew Hindmoor.
