KlimaCampus Kolloquium: Saving Ourselves in Times of Crisis
How do we understand the evolution of climate activism and protest and what role will it play in getting society through the climate crisis? This talk integrates data collected over 25 years studying climate policymaking and civil society's role in addressing the climate crisis. It presents the most realistic path forward for climate action - which is driven by a mass mobilization that responds to the growing severity and frequency of climate shocks. Spurred by a lack of progress, climate activism has become increasingly confrontational, and a radical flank has emerged. The presentation will discuss when and how activism is most successful, identifying the importance of creating community, capitalizing on shocking moments, and cultivating resilience. It will present the findings from Fisher's recent book, Saving Ourselves: from Climate Shocks to Climate Action, along with data that were collected more recently.
