This book is the outcome of an interdisciplinary research process aimed at capturing the complexity of the social mobilisation for climate change. It brings together various academic perspectives to understand the diverse forms of climate activism, challenging traditional notions of agency, space, justice, and legality.
The reader will broaden their understanding of the social mobilisation for climate change and its interactions with new digital spaces. This book questions public authorities and big greenhouse gas emitters, individual and generational behaviors, artistic creations, territorial identities, legal systems, and even the idea of democracy. This broad overview results from a collection of concise contributions from scholars with different backgrounds, who employ a variety of tools and methodologies in their analysis, although delivering their findings in an accessible language.
It is intended for students, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in the areas of Climate Change, Digital Activism, Cultural and Legal Geography, Social and Spatial Justice, Human Rights and Environmental Law, Sustainable Cities, and Just Transition.
