Climate Insurgency : A Strategy for Survival Paperback / softback
by Jeremy Brecher
Paperback / softback
Description
Twenty-five years of human effort have failed even to slow climate change, let alone reverse it.
Climate Insurgency lays out a strategy for protecting the earth's climate: a global nonviolent constitutional insurgency.
This short book starts with a brief history of official climate protection efforts "from above" and non-governmental ones "from below" that explains why climate protection has failed so far.
Then, it proposes a global nonviolent insurgency for climate protection to overcome that failure.
Historian and longtime activist Jeremy Brecher presents a public trust doctrine that can legitimate global climate insurgency in national and international law.
He shows how to make national economies climate-safe and points the way toward justly distributing the global costs and benefits of climate protection.
In addition, he lays out a new strategy to make governments and economies meet their obligations to protect the climate.
