Inhaltsangabe

In the 2022 James Backhouse Lecture, Yarrow Goodley looks at the critical issue of climate justice-at how our responses to the climate emergency have the potential for great suffering, as well as great redemption. In a world where the rich pollute, and the poor suffer, we do not just need to address our rapidly-warming planet, but also the injustices which drive this environmental catastrophe.

In conversation with Quaker and non-Quaker activists, Yarrow explores the history of this crisis, and the despair and hope we must negotiate in coming to grips with a problem of planetary proportions. This crisis offers us an unparalleled opportunity to remake our political, economic and social systems, in ways that support a liveable planet, while addressing the profound injustices of our age, especially racial inequality. Yarrow asks us 'What can we do?' and seeks to offer ways forward that create hope not just for all people, but for all the living creatures on our small bluegreen planet.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Yarrow Goodley was nineteen years old in 1988 when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was founded, and the IPCC's five-yearly reports have sounded ever more dire warnings throughout their adulthood. Yarrow began working with young children in 1996, and has been an activist educator ever since, working with babies, toddlers, preschoolers as well as adults studying or working in early childhood education and care. Yarrow's doctoral work was in the sociology of education, and their book The Sociology of Early Childhood: Young Children's Lives and Worlds (2019) explores how inequality continues to shape and reshape the lives of young children. As an early childhood educator, Yarrow is reminded every day of the uncertain future that awaits our youngest citizens. These children will be Yarrow's current age in 2070-a future that may be either apocalyptic or utopian, depending on our actions now. As a Quaker, an activist, and a gardener, Yarrow aims for that utopian future, even when the path to that place is murky.
