Carbon addiction

Aug 14, 2013, updated May 09, 2025

What are the costs – personal, social and environmental – of our civilisation’s carbon addiction? Does the Age of Tough Oil necessarily mean the ‘powering down’ of societies? What does the future hold for people, energy and climates in a post-carbon world?

Professor John Urry, one of Europe’s most celebrated social thinkers, presents ‘Societies beyond oil’, 12 September. He will be conversing with Professor Anthony Elliott, Director of the Hawke Research Institute.

Jointly presented by The Hawke Centre and the Hawke Research Institute, as part of the InConversation series.
