Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

An intersectional primer for saving the planet: place-based perspectives and community-led tools for fighting climate change--for readers of The Intersectional Environmentalist and All We Can Save

"An essential, inspired chorus of voices echoing the urgency of action in the fight against climate change." -- Kirkus Reviews

In Climate Resilience , climate justice and resilience strategist Kylie Flanagan invites us to see and act beyond status-quo solutions, Big Tech promises...and everything we're usually told about how to save the planet.

Centering the voices of Native Rights activists, queer liberation ecologists, youth climate-justice organizers, Latinx wilderness activists, and others on the front lines, Climate Resilience urges us toward a vision of climate care that invests in place-based, community-led projects focused on:

Relationship Repair Ecological Restoration Economic Regeneration Collective Care Community Adaptation Cultural Strategy People Power
Each section offers practical blueprints for engaging with different aspects of climate-change action through mutual aid, seed-saving, community-owned energy, community safety plans, and more, and includes a range of ideas for readers to apply these strategies in their own communities.

"In conversation with 39 women, nonbinary, and gender-expansive climate leaders."

"A primer in understanding the climate crisis informed by interviews with the women, non-binary, and gender-expansive climate leaders and community members who have been fighting for the health, wellbeing, and liberation of their communities for decades"-- Provided by publisher.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Relationship repair -- Ecological restoration -- Economic regeneration -- Collective care -- Community adaptation -- Cultural strategy -- People power.
