With COP27 underway, we share a selection of past essays published in the Undisciplined Environments blog
As CO2 emissions hit new records and most countries’ promises for climate action continue unfulfilled, the last week of the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) is underway in Egypt. Outside, protesters remind governments that this is the “last chance to act”, and chant “No climate justice without human rights” and “Climate reparations now”.
Here, we share a selection of essays we have published in our blog since we started in 2014, to help put the event and the discussions taking place in a broader context. The essays include critical discussions of previous COPs, neoliberal climate policies such as REDD+, the coloniality of the climate crisis, climate adaptation and energy transitions, fossil fascism, the “Anthropocene” debates, the importance of storytelling, and climate justice movements, among other themes.
