Arguing that climate injustice is one of our most pressing urban
problems, this volume explores the possibilities and challenges for
more just urban futures under climate change. Whether the situation
be displacement within cities through carbon gentrification or the
increasing securitization of elite spaces for climate protection,
climate justice and urban justice are intimately connected.
Contributors to the volume build theoretical tools for
interrogating the root causes of climate change, as well as policy
failures. They also highlight knowledge produced within communities
already seeking transformative change and demonstrate meaningful
learning from activist groups working to address the socionatural
injustices caused by the impact of climate change. The editors'
introduction situates our current climate emergency within
historical processes of colonization, racial capitalism, and
heteropatriarchy, while the editors' conclusion offers pathways
forward through abolition, care, and reparations. Where other books
focus on the project of critique, this collection advances
real-world politics to help academics, practitioners, and social
justice groups imagine, create, and enact more just urban futures
under climate change.
