Case Study of a Climate Justice Group/Movement

Case Study of a Climate Justice Group/Movement

Conduct a case study of a group or movement dealing with climate change. What are the group?s strategies, actions, and goals and how does it incorporate justice issues into them? How does it engage with the liberal framework for understanding and resolving climate change (for example, does it embrace it, work within it reluctantly, or reject it)? What are the main tasks it needs to accomplish in order to advance its cause? Some suggestions for groups or movements include 350.org, the fossil fuel divestment movement (e.g. Fossil FreeYork), anti-tar sands movements,
Science for Peace, Climate Action Network, Transition Towns, Toronto-Bolivia Solidarity Group, Indigenous Environment Network, Deep Green Resistance.
Students are encouraged to suggest other groups or movements, BUT they must be approved by the instructor.
