“Keep It in the Ground.” The Paris Agreement and the Renewal of the Energy Economy: Toward an Alternative Future for Globalized Resource Policy?

Roland Benedikter, Kjell Kühne, Ariane Benedikter and Giovanni Atzeni

Challenge, 2016, vol. 59, issue 3, 205-222

Abstract: In this article, the sequel to Roland Benedikter’s article “The Future of Resources” published in the last issue of Challenge, the authors argue that one option to avoid some of the resource conflicts of the future is to leave the resources in the ground—that is, to decide not to use them by local, national, international, and global agreement. That may involve complex political arrangements between the local and the global, as well as aspects of international law partly still to be developed. What could the global “Keep It in the Ground” movement actually accomplish? The authors are cautiously optimistic.
