Documentary abstract — original language
Do enough activists -and the societies that generate them -care about climate change to force United Nations (UN) negotiators to make the emissions cuts required to halt warming at 2 degrees?The July 2015 Pew Research Center survey of world awareness confirms that in a list also containing global economic instability and several contingent geopolitical factors, a near majority of the world public is 'very concerned' about climate change (Carle 2015).It is the leading global-scale worry in 2015, but opinion is unevenly distributed: the advanced capitalist societies most responsible for climate change are those which are least willing to acknowledge it as the main threat.They are the societies with the greatest capacity to pay a 'climate debt' for the 'loss and damage' associated with climate change.But their UN negotiators and politicians, mainly influenced by large corporations, are the most reluctant to discuss the North's associated liabilities.Against this 'paralysis above' (to cite the subtitle of Bond 2012), is there opportunity for 'movement below', especially the kind of anti-systemic movement associated with the term 'climate justice'?
