Its essays focus on major Global South cities, such as Accra, Delhi, Cairo, Beijing and Buenos Aires, as well as pockets of the \"South\" in the North, such as New York City. These cities are marked by sharp inequalities in the social and environmental impacts of uneven urban development, which are aggravated by the climate crisis. Yet these cities also house initiatives at the forefront of climate-just solutions--ranging from street protests and social media campaigns, mutual-aid food kitchens and solidarity brigades, citizen-protected neighborhood parks, heat-reducing architecture interventions, bicycle-based urban mobility for women vendors, participatory climate plans, and Afro-Indigenous muralism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering an in-depth, accessible, and comparative analysis that draws on extended engagements with a diverse group of activists and scholars, \u003ci\u003e Climate Justice in the City\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to action for all, highlighting not only structural inequalities but also the solutions and community-based initiatives being mobilized from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gustavo A.
