Are alternative energies and Green New Deals enough to deliver
environmental justice? Peter Gelderloos argues that international
governmental responses to the climate emergency are structurally
incapable of solving the crisis. But there is hope. Across the
world, grassroots networks of local communities are working to
realise their visions of an alternative revolutionary response to
planetary destruction, often pitted against the new megaprojects
promoted by greenwashed alternative energy infrastructures and the
neocolonialist, technocratic policies that are the forerunners of
the Green New Deal. Gelderloos interviews food sovereignty
activists in Venezuela, Indigenous communities reforesting their
lands in Brazil and anarchists fighting biofuel plantations in
Indonesia, looking at the battles that have cancelled airports,
stopped pipelines, and helped the most marginalised to fight
borders and environmental racism, to transform their cities, to win
a dignified survival.
