Climate Change, Capitalism and Working-class Struggle

How are socialists to respond to the existential threats posed by climate crises? Do we have what it takes to fight capitalism and climate breakdown? A collection of articles and reviews on the fight against climate change, capitalism and on the role of workers' organisation and struggle in that.
The Climate Crisis is the defining capitalist crisis of our time, and in fact all of human history. We are already starting to see its destructive potential around the world, from wildfires and hurricanes in the US, to floods in Bangladesh and droughts throughout Africa. How are socialists to respond to this crisis? Do we have what it takes to fight capitalism and climate breakdown? This pamphlet contains a collection of articles and reviews on the fight against climate change, capitalism and on the role of workers' organisation and struggle in that.
