Course Description

Examines the origins and evolution of the global climate movement from its beginnings during the 1970s until the present day. The focus will be on the agency of climate activists (both as individuals and within nongovernmental organizations), how the climate movement fits within the history of social movements, the various tactics utilized by activists – e.g., fossil fuel divestment, climate strikes, and “distributed action” – and the success and shortcomings of such efforts, how grassroots climate action has evolved over time and within specific countries, and the factors that have contributed to the recent rapid expansion of the climate movement (e.g., the clear scientific consensus on the looming catastrophe, “climate anxiety” among particularly the young, and the differential impact of climate change on the Global South and the Global North).
