Are alternative energies and Green New Deals enough to deliver environmental justice? Peter Gelderloos argues that international governmental responses to the climate emergency are structurally incapable of solving the crisis. But there is hope. Across the world, grassroots networks of local communities are working to realize their visions of an alternative revolutionary response to planetary destruction, often pitted against the new megaprojects promoted by greenwashed alternative energy infrastructures and the neocolonialist, technocratic policies that are the forerunners of the Green New Deal. Topics include:
Gelderloos interviews food sovereignty activists in Venezuela, indigenous communities reforesting their lands in Brazil, and anarchists fighting biofuel plantations in Indonesia, looking at the battles that have cancelled airports, stopped pipelines, and helped the most marginalized to fight borders and environmental racism, to transform their cities, to win a dignified survival. As the climate crisis worsens, we must look to revolutionary strategy for justice. Here is the information everyone needs to understand the problem and plot new, path-breaking, even revolutionary solution.
