Activist and writer Chris Saltmarsh explains the political and economic implications of the fight for climate justice.

Over the past decade, wildfires and floods have become more frequent across the globe, and climate change can no longer be underplayed or denied.

Even though the term 'climate crisis' can be heard in mainstream media, its consequences are often discussed in abstract and overly theoretical terms.

The devastating effects of climate change on the world's most vulnerable communities are ignored, and corporations continue to burn fossil fuels and destroy the environment.

Chris Saltmarsh is a British activist, author, and co-founder of Labour for a Green New Deal.

In Burnt: Fighting for Climate Justice, which is part of the Pluto Press' Outspoken series, Saltmarsh explores the links between capital, labor exploitation, and the commodification of nature and calls for a radical approach to environmental activism.
