Resistance and Reform in the Climate Movement and International Institutions

Abstract

As the climate crisis deepens and other crises affect both states and international institutions, new and more extreme forms of climate action are likely to emerge and proliferate. Already, one can find calls for such action among activists, some academics, and in popular media. Historically, violence has often played a role in in challenging oppressive systems and practices, including within liberal-democratic societies. Acknowledging this—without seeking to downplay or minimize the tensions that exist between radical resistance and the maintenance of liberal-democratic values and institutions—this panel will examine some the ethical and strategic implications of employing force and other forms of resistance and reform in the pursuit of political change particularly within the climate movement and international institutions.
