- Abstract
Embraced by a professionalized segment of environmentalism, the "clean growth" project aspires to meet Canada's international climate commitments while supporting robust capital accumulation. This study maps the networks of Canadian clean growth organizations and initiatives, the major Canadian foundations that fund them, and the interlocking web of corporate, state, and civil society elites who influence the governance of those foundations and ENGOs. We identify a tightly-knit configuration of corporate, state, and civil-society actors who occupy the boards that fund and govern clean growth ENGOs. The clean growth project, as ideology and as ENGO practice, comprises an aspect of what Gramsci called the integral state, working to mobilize popular support and technical expertise on the climate issue in ways that reproduce climate (in)action, benefit dominant economic and business interests, and sideline the views of critical, transformative social-justice sectors of Canada's environmental community.
