“Essential reading for everyone who is serious about confronting the
climate emergency.” -Emma Murphy, co-editor, Green Left Weekly

As capitalism continues with business as usual, climate change is fast
expanding the gap between rich and poor between and within nations,
and imposing unparalleled suffering on those least able to protect
themselves.

In THE GLOBAL FIGHT FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE, anticapitalist activists from
five continents offer radical answers to the most important questions
of our time:

** Why is capitalism destroying the conditions that make life on Earth possible?

** How can we stop the destruction before it is too late? “

In 46 essays on topics ranging from the food crisis to carbon trading
to perspectives from indigenous peoples, they make a compelling case
that saving the world from climate catastrophe will require much more
than tinkering with technology or taxes. Only radical social change
can prevent irreversible damage to the earth and civilization.

EDITED BY IAN ANGUS: Ian Angus, who wrote several of the articles in
this book and selected the others from a wide range of authors and
movements, is one of the world's best-known ecosocialist activists. He
is editor of the online journal Climate and Capitalism, which has been
described as “the most reliable single source of information and
strategic insights for climate justice.”

Ian is also Associate Editor of Socialist Voice, an Advisory Editor of
Socialist Resistance, and a founding member of the Ecosocialist
International Network. He lives in Ontario, Canada.
