Responding to climate change has become an industry. Governments,
corporations, activist groups and others now devote billions of
dollars to mitigation and adaptation, and their efforts represent
one of the most significant policy measures ever dedicated to a
global challenge. Despite its laudatory intent, the response
industry, or 'Climate Inc.', is failing. Reimagining Climate Change
questions established categories, routines, and practices that
presently constitute accepted solutions to tackling climate change
and offers alternative routes forward. It does so by unleashing the
political imagination. The chapters grasp the larger arc of
collective experience, interpret its meaning for the choices we
face, and creatively visualize alternative trajectories that can
help us cognitively and emotionally enter into alternative climate
futures. They probe the meaning and effectiveness of climate
protection 'from below'-forms of community and practice that are
emerging in various locales around the world and that hold promise
for greater collective resonance. They also question climate
protection "from above" in the form of industrial and modernist
orientations and examine large-scale agribusinesses, as well as
criticize the concept of resilience as it is presently being
promoted as a response to climate change. This book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of climate change, global
environmental politics, and environmental studies in general, as
well as climate change activists.
