Review: Climate Justice: Hope, Resilience, and the Fight for a Sustainable Future

Abstract

In Climate Justice: Hope, Resilience, and the Fight for a Sustainable Future, she examines the relationship between social justice and climate change, redefining the term as "climate justice." Robinson writes that when she held her newborn grandchild for the first time she thought, "What will life be like for them in 2050?" An admitted late-comer to climate activism, her efforts to protect the planet began during the launch of her foundation, Realizing Rights, when Robinson traveled to the global South to assist in addressing social inequalities. Highlighting this issue through a series of case studies, Robinson gives readers the perspective that global warming is experienced in drastically different ways across genders, demographics, and global locations.
