COP30: A Radical Climate Reading List

The Earth is approaching an overshooting above 1.5C, failing to uphold the Paris Agreement that was signed during COP21. As we enter COP30, it is clear that we need a new, radical politics capable of tackling environmental breakdown. Our world leaders are not going to deliver. 

As the Palestinian COP30 Coalition has stated, climate justice dies where oppression and apartheid live. And the same governments that say they have no money for climate finance, somehow always find billions for bombs.

When will the carbon-intensive capitalist class be confronted for producing the climate crisis? What are the actionable strategies for disrupting green capitalism? And how can we pull up the shared roots of colonial adventurism in Palestine and fossil fuelled warfare.
