Reimagining Climate Change

Paul Wapner, Hilal Elver

Routledge, 5 feb. 2016 - 212 pages

Responding to climate change has become an industry. Governments,
corporations, activist groups and others now devote billions of dollars to
mitigation and adaptation, and their efforts represent one of the most
significant policy measures ever dedicated to a global challenge. Despite
its laudatory intent, the response industry, or ‘Climate Inc.’, is failing.

Reimagining Climate Change questions established categories, routines, and
practices that presently constitute accepted solutions to tackling climate
change and offers alternative routes forward. It does so by unleashing the
political imagination. The chapters grasp the larger arc of collective
experience, interpret its meaning for the choices we face, and creatively
visualize alternative trajectories that can help us cognitively and
emotionally enter into alternative climate futures. They probe the meaning
and effectiveness of climate protection ‘from below’—forms of community and
practice that are emerging in various locales around the world and that
hold promise for greater collective resonance. They also question climate
protection "from above" in the form of industrial and modernist
orientations and examine large-scale agribusinesses, as well as criticize
the concept of resilience as it is presently being promoted as a response
to climate change.

This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate
change, global environmental politics, and environmental studies in
general, as well as climate change activists
