More DescriptionClimate justice movements exercise an ethic of care and responsibility; but these discourses and practices within climate activism are made invisible through delegitimising and depoliticising tactics. This happens because such messages are in contradiction with the values of contemporary neoliberal society.In this book, the authors tell the story of a climate justice campaign based in Aotearoa New Zealand. They highlight how practices of care and responsibility within climate justice campaigns can be drawn on to foster wider radical progressive change. Using radical and feminist geography perspectives, the book examines how power relations shape the possibilities and constraints for change, and how communities can effectively respond.
