INTRODUTION I feel angry that I have been born into a society where, by no choice of my own, by no agreement, by no actual decision, I am inherently complicit in the destruction of the world. It is hard to do the right thing. You have to be militant. You have to be an activist. - Severn Cullis-Suzuki

The world that we live in is both hugely interconnected and massively divided. Nothing shows this more than the impacts of climate change. While global temperatures rise, lifestyles in many countries, especially those of the global north, become increasingly unsustainable. There exists within every country on the globe a divide between rich and poor, yet also between different parts of the world a huge divide in wealth, resources, and - central for our project the disastrous effects of climate change! Climate change is a process created by the unsustainable drive to short-term profits of global capitalism. This economic system creates huge profits for certain countries, while at the same time having a devastating impact on others. 1
