Patrick Bond’s Politics of Climate Justice: Paralysis Above, Movement Below has been named as on of The Guardian’s top 10 “seminal” books on the climate change movement.
Other books on the list include Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything: Capitalism v the Climate, The End of Nature by Bill McKibben, Climate Politics and the Climate Movement in Australia by Verity Burgmann and Hans Baer, as well as Mark Lynas’ The God Species.
Politics of Climate Justice, which was published locally in late 2011, focuses on world leaders’ responses to climate change through the United Nations’ Conference of the Parties (COP), and concludes that global power blocs are incapable of reconciling the threat to the planet with their economies’ addiction to fossil fuels.
Bond is a professor at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
3. Politics of Climate Justice by Patrick Bond
This 2012 release comes from the popular scholar-activist Patrick Bond, from South Africa. Using examples from countries in the global south he argues that market-based instruments such as carbon trading and the clean-development mechanism are not working. They often have negative consequences for the local population, harm the environment and make little impact on reducing emissions.
