ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that mitigation and adaptation, as one conventionally understand and practice them, can no longer monopolize how one respond to climate change. It climate change by going beyond Climate Inc's commitment to mitigation and adaptation and adding radical resilience to the menu of policy choices. The chapter explores the politics of climate suffering. It provides a few examples of radical resilience with the aim of showing that climate suffering need not be left out of political analysis and action but can meaningfully direct efforts. Radical resilience contravenes Climate Inc. in that it understands and honors the political dimensions of climate suffering and uses this understanding to craft more transformative responses to climate change. If mitigation aims to address climate change as an emissions problem and adaptation works to minimize damage because so little mitigation progress has been made, radical resilience emerges as a response to climate suffering.
