Climate catastrophe throws into stark relief the extreme,
life-threatening inequalities that affect millions of lives
worldwide. The poorest and most marginalized, who are least
responsible for the consumption and emissions that create climate
change, are the first and hardest impacted, and the least able to
protect themselves. Climate justice is simultaneously a movement,
an academic field, an organizing principle, and a political demand.
Building climate justice is a matter of life and death.Climate
Justice and Participatory Research offers ideas and inspiration for
climate justice through the creation of research, knowledge, and
livelihood commons and community-based climate resilience. It
brings together articulations of the what, why, and how of climate
justice through the voices of energetic and motivated
scholar-activists who are building alliances across Latin America,
Africa, and Canada. Exemplifying socio-ecological transformation
through equitable public engagement, these scholars, climate
activists, community educators, and teachers come together to share
their stories of participatory research and collective action.
Grounded in experience and processes that are currently underway,
Climate Justice and Participatory Research explores the value of
common assets, collective action, environmental protection, and
equitable partnerships between local community experts and academic
allies. It demonstrates the negative effects of climate-related
actions that run roughshod over local communities’ interests and
wellbeing, and acknowledges the myriad challenges of participatory
research. This is a work committed to the practical work of
transforming socio-economies from situations of vulnerability to
collective wellbeing.
