Climate change concerns a multiplicity of phenomena that, taken together, make clear the need to preserve the world of nonhuman nature from the impacts produced by the actions of human beings. These impacts, in turn, link to an even more general issue related to the sustainability (or unsustainability) not only of the ways through which wealth is produced and distributed, but also of the associated patterns of consumption. The issue of sustainability, in other words, can become a useful reference for critiquing contemporary models of production and the regulatory orders that normatively, socially and culturally reproduce these same models but, at the same time, it can become one of the many flanking mechanisms of the processes of value extraction from the natural world of contemporary capitalism. Through what analytical categories and perspectives of analysis is it possible to understand why sustainability is de-
clined in the first or second of the above ways? Is it possible to use this concept without depleting its critical-analytical potential? What are the historical variables that can help us in this analysis? The article aims to provide initial answers to these questions by articulating the nexus between the emergence and affirmation of the sustainable development paradigm, neoliberalization of public action and the reproduction of contemporary capitalism. In particular, this question will be read in connection with the process of depoliticizing sustainability, analyzing the reasons why this category appears depoliticized and proposing a theoretical key to its possible politicization and the determination of possible paths to reassembling society.
