Addressing the Climate Emergency at the Local Scale (original) (raw)

Quiet Activism, 2021

Abstract

This chapter introduces “quiet activism” and its relationship to social innovation, adaptation and other forms of activism with an embodied ethic of care. This includes an emphasis on the importance of the local scale in addressing the climate emergency and other crisis; cases of socially innovative practices and partnerships from Australia alongside international examples; and critical engagement with the role of quiet activism as a transformative conceptual frame and contemporary practice in climate change. We are interested in the diverse ways this transformative potential of quiet activism can create more equitable and sustainable futures.
