‘An in-depth look at the issues surrounding Climate Change’

Icarus Complex’s aim is for its readers to ‘feel the urgency of the threats our planet is facing’ without becoming overwhelmed by the climate crisis. Inside each issue you’ll find detailed features, photography, illustration, a comic strip and more.

In their seventh issue, Afsaneh and the team continue their investigation into the systemic causes of the climate crisis, emphasising the importance of upholding our individual moral obligation to each other to seek out solutions for a better planet despite differences in circumstances and beliefs. Inside, the issue highlights ‘some of the systemic challenges of continuing our relationship with fossil fuels’: Emma Bryce dissects the outdated ISDS clauses permitting corporations to seek financial compensation for government climate policies that can be claimed to have negatively impacted the value of their assets and Stefano Cisternino unpacks the obscured funding ‘creating a false sense of affordability and dependence’ on fossil fuels. You’ll also find editorial covering sustainable architecture, farming, public health, energy, the human costs of development, and more.
