Climate Actions “The climate movement is now old and robust enough to be studied–which in and of itself is good news. And the results of those inquiries are of great use in the task ahead, which is building this movement big enough and fast enough to catch up with the physics of global warming. This book will help make our labors more effective!” —Bill McKibben, founder, 350.org, and Schumann Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies, Middlebury College, USA “Addressing climate change will not be achieved through business as usual. Citizen action is absolutely vital to prod, push and directly institute changes. To learn how citizen action might be improved, Laurence Delina brings to bear insights from social theory combined with reports from numerous action groups. His classification of mechanisms for change provides a convenient entry to a careful exposition and analysis. Climate Actions offers a wealth of ideas and information for anyone seeking to make actions as effective as possible.” —Brian Martin, Emeritus Professor, University of Wollongong, Australia “Rooted in social movement scholarship, and based on an original new survey of climate groups, Climate Actions offers an up-to-date, comprehensive analysis. Highly recommended for anyone interested in expanding and deepening the climate movement.” —Juliet Schor, Professor of Sociology, Boston College, USA
