The present contribution proposes a socio-criminological reading of climate change. The first part will outline some theoretical perspective useful in interpreting this phenomenon within the field of green criminology, a criminological perspective that studies environmental crimes and harms, together with the various forms of (in)justice linked to the relationship between man and the eco-system.

Il presente contributo propone una lettura socio-criminologica del cambiamento climatico. In una prima parte, questo fenomeno viene intepretato all’interno del campo della green criminology, una prospettiva criminologica che studia i crimini e i danni ambientali, assieme alle varie forme di (in)giustizia riguardanti la relazione tra l’uomo e l’ecosistema. Nella seconda parte del lavoro, viene evidenziata la rilevanza delle prospettive culturali e la nozione di “state-corporate crime”; vengono inoltre discusse alcune questioni epistemologiche che ruotano attorno all’idea di “general accident”. Infine, viene esplorata l’ambivalenza della relazione complessa che intercorre tra uomo e natura, al fine di promuovere nuove forme di responsabilità capaci di tener conto delle conseguenze dannose – presenti e future – del cambiamento climatico e dei fenomeni a esso connessi

Abstract

The present contribution proposes a socio-criminological reading of climate change. The first part will outline some theoretical perspective useful in interpreting this phenomenon within the field of green criminology, a criminological perspective that studies environmental crimes and harms, together with the various forms of (in)justice linked to the relationship between man and the eco-system. The second part will discuss the relevance of cultural perspectives and the notion of “state-corporate crime”, as well as some epistemological questions which revolve around the idea of “general accident”. The third and last part will explore the ambivalence of the complex relationship existing between man and nature in order to promote new forms of responsibility capable of taking into account the harmful consequences – present and future – of climate change and of the phenomena linked to it.
