This edited collection explores a diverse range of climate
(in)justice case studies from the Majority World – where most of
humans and non-humans live. It is also the site of the most severe
impacts of climate change and home to some of the key solutions for
the climate crisis. The collection brings together 12 chapters
featuring the work of over 30 authors from around the globe. The
impacts of climate change are disproportionately affecting
individuals, communities, and countries in the Majority World who
historically have contributed little to rising global temperatures.
The 12 chapters focus on a range of cross-cutting themes,
demonstrating both individual and collective experiences of climate
change and struggles for achieving climate justice from the
Majority World. This includes activism, resistance, and social
movement organizing in India and Brazil; lived experiences and
understandings of frontline communities in Bangladesh and South
Africa; consequences of and responses to disasters in Mozambique
and Puerto Rico; and contested accounts, narratives, and futures in
the Maldives and Pakistan, among other topics. By adopting a
decolonial lens, this book provides rich empirical content,
insightful comparisons, and novel conceptual interventions. It
foregrounds climate justice from an intersectional perspective and
contributes to the ongoing efforts by scholars and activists to
address epistemic injustice in climate change research, policy, and
practice. It will appeal to undergraduate and graduate-level
students, academics, activists, policymakers, and members of the
public concerned with the impacts and inequalities of climate
change in the Majority World.
