An Empirical Analysis of the Climate Justice Movement
In this paper, Bruce Podobnik describes global patterns in climate change activism over the period 2000-2012. By examining more than 1,600 distinct protest events, Bruce is able to show that the climate justice movement has grown in size, it has made use of many different kinds of tactics, and it has become an important force in global debates over what to do about climate change.
