Contributors discuss the origins of climate activism as well as important achievements in raising public awareness, increasing participation, incorporating environmental justice, and implementing climate-friendly policies. They also demonstrate why nonconventional forms of collective action are necessary and effective when existing institutions fail to address planetary warming at an appropriate pace and level of urgency. Authors cover climate action planning, renewable energy systems, reforestation, carbon capture and storage technologies, nature-based climate solutions, and just economic transitions. The scholars also identify climate action within broader systems of race, class, gender, and colonialism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from environmental science, sociology, political science, and anthropology, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e gathers analyses and recommendations from an interdisciplinary field of specialists.
