ABSTRACT
Greater awareness of the effects of rising sea levels and tropical storms in Bangladesh and elsewhere will hopefully lead North Americans to press their governments to act more decisively to stop climate change and assist its victims. Better understanding of the costs at home and abroad of extraction and fossil fuel transport and processing will hasten the energy transition by reducing social license and support for fossil fuels. Climate justice is a global problem which requires an ongoing search for global solutions. Indigenous resurgence is growing worldwide; and in Canada in particular, with attention and care, new traditions of uneasy but at times respectful collaboration are emerging between settlers and Indigenous people. Learning and sharing the skills for building these collaborations is a central part of climate justice activism. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
