Approaching the issues of climate change and climate justice from a
range of diverse perspectives including those of culture, gender,
indigeneity, race, and sexuality, as well as challenging colonial
histories and capitalist presents, Climate Futures boldly addresses
the apparent inevitability of climate chaos. Seeking better
explanations of the underlying causes and consequences of climate
change, and mapping strategies toward a better future, or at a
minimum, the most likely best-case world that we can get to, this
book envisions planetary social movements robust enough to spark
the necessary changes needed to achieve deeply sustainable and just
economic, social, and political policies and practices. Bringing
together insights from interdisciplinary scholars, policymakers,
creatives and activists, Climate Futures argues for the need to get
past us-and-them divides and acknowledge how lives of creatures far
and near, human and non-human, are interconnected.
