SUMMARY:Billy Fleming | Building Postcarbon Futures: Land\, Justice\, and Energy Transitions Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:What would a postcarbon future look like? What would it take to build and maintain a more just\, regenerative world? How would it feel to live—and to thrive—in that world? Around the globe\, people are transforming their social\, ecological\, and economic systems in response to the climate crisis. This book guides readers through 29 of these exemplary works\, which span 43 nations and 6 continents. From Cuba to Kiribati\, Iceland to the Andes\, the prairies of North America to the expanding Gobi Desert\, these case studies foreground the tactics and modes of practice being employed\, often by marginalized peoples\, to create more humane\, hospitable places. With dispatches from more than a dozen leading scholars working on the front lines of the climate justice movement\, Building Postcarbon Futures: Land\, Justice\, and Energy Transitions is both a celebration of action underway and a clarion call to the planners\, designers\, policymakers\, and activists who are pushing this planet toward a future of collective flourishing. \nAbout the Author \nBilly Fleming is a leading voice on the role of design in responding to the climate crisis in our cities\, communities\, and landscapes. He is founding codirector of the Climate and Community Institute\, a progressive think tank focused on climate and political economy\, and assistant professor of landscape architecture at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia. Fleming was the inaugural Wilks Family Director of the Ian L. McHarg Center at the University of Pennsylvania and an urban policy advisor to the Obama administration. He is coeditor of Design with Nature Now (2019) and A Blueprint for Coastal Adaptation: Uniting Design\, Economics\, and Policy (2021). \nThis event is co-sponsored by R+CP and Climate Futures.
