Climate change action is not about new disruptive technologies but about disruptive politics of inclusion and justice. The world is interdependent and needs to think and act as one. This politics of marginalization, powerlessness and inequity is not only at the global scale but national and local. This is why Climate Justice in India, edited by Prakash Kashwan, must be your essential reading. This truth is inconvenient but must be understood as this perspective on what we need to do better in India – to walk lightly on Earth – and to listen to the environmentalism of the poor – is crucial for our today and tomorrow. We know that environmental sustainability is not possible if growth is not affordable and inclusive.” Sunita Narain, Environmentalist and Director General, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eClimate Justice in India brings together a collective of academics, activists, and artists to paint a collage of action-oriented visions for a climate just India.
