This book evaluates climate change and populism two ideas that do not generally go together.
The author argues that perhaps they should if policymakers are to be galvanized into action
before it is too late. Although populism is usually associated with right-wing authoritarianism
there is growing interest in more progressive forms of populist politics. Across the world
young people in particular are mobilizing to demand change from an older generation that
appears to be incapable of action or is hostage to powerful vested interests and outdated
ideas. In this book the author explains why populist forms of political action may yet provide
the key to effective policies which are often discussed but less frequently implemented.
Accessible and trenchantly argued this book presents a primer for the politics of survival.
