A Climate Agenda for System Change

<p>While calls for system change to address the climate crisis have become more common it is important to identify what system change should entail and why. This book examines what a climate agenda for system change might include and why these policies and programs are critical to minimize global warming and enhance social wellbeing. While our current trajectory involves maintaining the status quo and relying on future technologies to mitigate climate change a system-changing agenda has the potential to more rapidly effectively and justly minimize warming. Drawing from ecosocialism and degrowth the authors identify key agenda items and why they should be prioritized. The book then focuses on how system change might take place identifying obstacles and challenges and motivations for persevering despite opposition.</p>
