It's Not That Radical

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.

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.

A fresh, anti-racist, and intersectional perspective on climate change and climate justice

"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."

Mikaela Loach

Mikaela Loach (Kingston, 1998), has been named by Forbes, BBC Women’s Hour, and The Guardian as one of the most influential women in the UK climate movement. A former medical student, the British-Jamaican is now an activist for climate justice and co-director of the AWETHU organizing school. In 2021, she was one of the three claimants in the Paid to Pollute case that took the UK government to court for the exorbitant public payments awarded to fossil fuel companies each year. Her first book "Not So Radical: Climate Action to Transform Our World" quickly became an indie bestseller in the UK. Mikaela was named the 2023 indie non-fiction champion by Bookshop.org, and one of the "Top World’s Thinkers" by Prospect Magazine. She has just published her second book "Climate Is Just The Start" (2025), where she brings the theory and vision of climate action and justice to a young audience.
