Climate change as class war: Interview with Matt Huber
Matt Huber’s Climate Change as Class War (2022, Verso) has sparked significant debates in Anglo-American circles with its class-based approach to the climate crisis. Rejecting consumption-focused narratives and reframing the crisis through the lens of power structures in production relations, Huber argues that the climate crisis is essentially a class war—one that must be fought against the ruling classes controlling energy, industry, and the means of production. In response to questions by Berkay Koçak, Huber invites reflection on how this class-centered perspective can resonate in the Global South, in semi-peripheral economies, and especially within neoliberal contexts like Turkey.
