"Change the system, not the climate" is a common slogan of climate
change activists. Yet when this idea comes into the academic and
policy realm, it is easy to see how climate change discourse
frequently asks the wrong questions. Reframing Climate Change
encourages social scientists, policy-makers, and graduate students
to critically consider how climate change is framed in scientific,
social, and political spheres. It proposes ecological geopolitics
as a framework for understanding the extent to which climate change
is a meaningful analytical focus, as well as the ways in which it
can be detrimental, detracting attention from more productive lines
of thought, research, and action. The volume draws from multiple
perspectives and disciplines to cover a broad scope of climate
change. Chapter topics range from climate science and security to
climate justice and literacy. Although these familiar concepts are
widely used by scholars and policy-makers, they are discussed here
as frequently problematic when used as lenses through which to
study climate change. Beyond merely reviewing current trends within
these different approaches to climate change, the collection offers
a thoughtful assessment of these approaches with an eye towards an
overarching reconsideration of the current understanding of our
relationship to climate change. Reframing Climate Change is an
essential resource for students, policy-makers, and anyone
interested in understanding more about this important topic. Who
decides what the priorities are? Who benefits from these
priorities, and what kinds of systems or actions are justified or
hindered? The key contribution of the book is the outlining of
ecological geopolitics as a different way of understanding
human-environment relationships including and beyond climate change
issues.
