The failure of recent international negotiations to progress global action on climate change has shifted attention to the emergence of grassroots sustainability initiatives. These civil society networks display the potential to implement social innovation and change processes from the bottom up. Recent scholarship has sought to theorise grassroots community-based low carbon practices in terms of their sustainability transition potential. However there are few empirical examples that demonstrate the factors for success of community-based social innovations in achieving more widespread adoption outside of their local, sustainability niche.
This book seeks to address two significant gaps related to grassroots climate action: the continuing dominance of the individualisation of responsibility for climate change action, and the potential for community-based collectives to influence mainstream climate change governance. Drawing on empirical research into Australian Climate Action Groups (CAGs) and related international research, the book argues that grassroots community-based collective action on climate change holds the key to broader social change. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, citizen participation, environmental sociology and sustainable development.
