Reimagining Climate Change

Produktbeschreibung

This edited collection questions established categories, routines, and practices that presently constitute accepted solutions to tackling climate change-a regime the authors call, 'Climate, Inc.'-and offers alternative routes forward. Key to the enterprise is unleashing the political imagination: the ability to grasp a larger arc of collective experience and interpret its meaning for the choices we face. This involves disciplined inspiration, creativity, and ingenuity that can help us cognitively and emotionally enter into alternative futures. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, global environmental politics and environmental studies in general.
