Workshop organized by Nathan Marom, 2023-2024 Paris IAS Fellow, and Nathalie Blanc, Centre des Politiques de la Terre, Université Paris Cité, with the support of the Paris IAS.

The premise of this workshop is to reclaim the central role of social mobilisations, everyday environmentalism, and urban politics in our common understanding of climate justice – both as a theoretical framework and as a policy ambition.

While acknowledging the importance of these different approaches (as well as the potential of their integration into a comprehensive framework), our workshop seeks to address an important component that is mostly missing from climate justice theoretical accounts and suggest a reframing of climate justice issues around three main polarities:

  • How do the experiences and emotions of people, communities, and social movements shape their claims about climate change and how it impacts their lives, livelihoods, and habitats in adverse, harmful, and hurtful ways?
  • How do ways of life and/or inhabiting in specific places contribute to the understanding of ecological issues, of what needs to be taken care of in order to contribute to the reproduction of life?
  • How does the current lack of recognition of the capabilities of people from popular classes to act on ecological issues creates a major challenge for environmental and climate justice?
