Climate urbanism: crisis, capitalism, and intervention

Climate change is a problem of unimaginable scope and magnitude – in cause, implication and responsibility. Predominant and ostensibly scientific frames for evaluating climate-related loss and damage focus on the climate events as the primary cause. This approach clouds out and silences the many non-climatic, social and political-economic, causes of crises. Framing the social back in highlights a fuller range of causes and potential solutions. It is also contentious as it locates cause in decisions, policies and institutions – indicating responsibility and blame. Choosing a social and political-economic analytic has implications for action and ethics as it broadens response abilities and responsibility.

The Rise of Environmental Fascism and the Securitization of Climate Change

This chapter examines the concept of climate urbanism as a response to climate change that is dominated by the financialization and prioritization of major physical and digital infrastructure projects, securitization, and carbon control. In its current mode, the policy paradigm of climate urbanism advances a technocratic, neoliberal approach to development. Situated within the oppressive structures of racial capitalism, heteropatriarchy, and coloniality, this mode of climate urbanism contains significant potential to create a system of climate apartheid. We acknowledge, however, that the dominant trajectory of climate urbanism is not predetermined. Alternative visions of climate urbanism are emerging that explore, imagine, and advance more just and democratic futures. As activists and scholars engage a more heterogeneous and resistant mode of climate urbanism, we see the potential for an emergent form of climate justice.
