This book brings together the voices of people from five continents
who live, work, and research on the front lines of climate
resistance and renewal. The many contributors to this volume
explore the impacts of extreme weather events in Africa, the
Caribbean and on Pacific islands, experiences of life-long
defenders of the land and forests in Brazil, India, Indonesia, and
eastern Canada, and efforts to halt the expansion of fossil-fuel
infrastructure from North America to South Africa. They offer
various perspectives on how a just transition toward a fossil-free
economy can take shape, as they share efforts to protect water
resources, better feed their communities, and implement new
approaches to urban policy and energy democracy. Climate Justice
and Community Renewal uniquely highlights the accounts of people
who are directly engaged in local climate struggles and community
renewal efforts, including on-the-ground land defenders, community
organizers, leaders of international campaigns, agroecologists,
activist-scholars, and many others. It will appeal to students,
researchers, activists, and all who appreciate the need for a truly
justice-centered response to escalating climate disruptions.
