Beschreibung
This book presents how the climate and ecological crisis is lived, experienced and confronted in the contextual conditions of a particular area. The growing concern in the academic and non-academic debate about climate change, as well as the persistent campaign of disinformation and opposition to climate policy, demonstrate that the analysis of the challenges, limits and potential for responding to these events must take into account local socio-material and cultural circumstances. In this book we will follow the different levels at which the climate crisis is confronted (urban policies, everyday practices, collective action), with particular attention to the types of responses that have been formulated, as well as the emergence of new codes of conduct and practices of personal and collective reproduction that seek to translate global phenomena into transformative actions, both materially and subjectively. The analysis of the friction between global and local, agents of transition and fossil fuel incumbents is at the core of this book.
