Sovereignty, property and climate change

What ways does do the key framing concepts of “sovereignty” and “property” play in initiating and accelerating anthropogenic climate change? Sovereignty has supplied and continues to supply a congenial host for the kind of property regime that produces economic growth, but also, and progressively, harmful climate change associated with such growth. At a most basic level of argument, we can point to how the development of a kind of “elective affinity” between sovereignty and property helped to fashion and sustain a political economy ultimately generative of harmful climate change.
