Скачать или смотреть Alternative actions? Climate activism and Earth System Governance

Global sustainability and earth system governance have more often than not centered on the formal processes of environmental governance development, from negotiations to policy programmes and their implementation. While constituting the obvious building blocks of the environmental architecture, these negotiations and outcomes can be shaped by non-state actors and processes ranging from information provision to protests and strikes. Environmental activism is dynamic, often changing in scale and tactics to respond to changes in global governance, or anger at the state of the world. This dynamism may require nuancing and reconsidering our theories of how NGOs and movements shape global governance.

Against this backdrop, this panel examines what is unique about recent waves of cimate mobilization, as well as the question of engagement with vs. opposition to formal global sustainability governance institutions. We take climate change as a case study while opening the discussion to other horizons.
