Climate change is the most important issue now facing humanity. As
global temperatures increase, floods, fires and storms are becoming
both more intense and frequent. People are suffering. And yet,
emissions continue to rise. This book unpacks the activities of the
key actors which have organised past and present climate responses
- specifically, corporations, governments, and civil society
organisations. Analysing three elements of climate change -
mitigation, adaptation and suffering - the authors show how
exponential growth of the capitalist system has allowed the fossil
fuel industry to maintain its dominance. However, this hegemonic
position is now coming under threat as new and innovative social
movements have emerged, including the fossil fuel divestment
movement, Fridays for Future, Extinction Rebellion and others. In
exposing the inadequacies of current climate policies and pointing
to the possibilities of new social and economic systems, this book
highlights how the worst impacts of climate change can be avoided.
