For too long, representations of climate action in the mainstream media have been whitewashed, greenwashed, and diluted to be compatible with capitalism. We live in an oppressive system, generating eco-anxiety and consumerism, with environmental consequences borne by the masses.

Now we know that cleaning up the mess is not enough, and governments are not prepared to manage the natural disasters that also reach our doorstep; climate disasters are no longer just news in distant countries.

Nevertheless, Mikaela Loach's voice is optimistic: being aware of the importance of the fight for climate change is no longer such a radical position. Climate justice offers a real possibility towards equality and collective liberation, and this text reflects on fundamental issues that are often sidelined in the debate: social justice, economic inequality, irreparable repercussions in countries that hardly pollute, racism, capitalism and colonialism, and climate migrations.

A Not so radical. Climate action to transform our world we find proposals to address the challenges of the future with hope from a fresh, anti-racist, and intersectional perspective.

"Practical and urgent. A call for transformation from the front line of the fight for the planet and the people who inhabit it. I have no doubt that Not So Radical will become an indispensable tool for the new generation of activists."

Naomi Klein

"A much-awaited read for all those who want to understand the systemic causes of climate degradation and what they can do about it."
