Collective care and climate repair

Abstract

This engagement with Chantel Carr's article, ‘Repair and care: Locating the work of climate crisis’, considers possible organising structures of care and climate repair, and the ways this labour can work to reproduce or to challenge settler-colonial capitalist states. Drawing on critical disability studies and crip theory, this essay considers alternative imaginaries of mutual aid and care that can inform how we conceive of and organise the work of climate repair without relying on ‘emergency’ and ‘crisis’ to propel us, and while, at all times, centring justice.
