The most recent scientific reporting suggests that the outlook for continued global warming is dire. Collective action and civic engagement by ordinary people around the world will prove decisive in slowing down global warming and supporting planetary survival. Climate Change and Civic Engagement demonstrates the origins, gains, and future trajectory of the climate movement. In analyzing collective action events around the world and exploring how the movement navigates the competing paradigms of climate denialism, decarbonization, and just transitions, this book includes:

Data collected from thousands of climate engagements and events.The most recent tools from social movement scholarship, such as GIS mapping, representative surveys from frontline communities, and theories of expanding climate civic engagement along just transition pathways.An exploration of the links between climate justice and environmental justice.Creative tactics for sustaining collective climate action in the face of climate denialism and technocratic solutions.
 

This book shows readers the indispensability of social movement knowledge in forging effective climate justice movements.
