Description
What do social movements have to say about climate change? What is their role in local and global governance of climate change? How do climate activists coordinate alternative futures in a postapocalyptic present? Some people say individual changes are needed, while others think it should come from systemic change. How does the climate movement reconcile both?
Answers by Joost de Moor, a researcher at Sciences Po’s Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, who has been working on these issues for years.
