Abstract

Erin M. Evans describes the human-induced climate change as a global public health crisis. Threats to public health resulting from climate change range from extreme weather events, water scarcity, increasing rates of infectious diseases, and even wildfires, result in forced migration of human and nonhuman animals, also called “climate refugees.” Forced climate migration is one symptom of neoliberal globalization—a structural deprivation of care that is steering social movements to use care as a political opportunity. These care movements mobilize for goals related to providing and receiving care, including unionizing care workers, protecting indigenous land and animals from industrial production, eliminating abusive animal practices, or establishing universal health care programs. In this chapter, Erin Evans theorizes about the possibilities that these goals offer for broad coalition-building and for challenging structural arrangements facilitating environmental destruction and increasing populations of human and nonhuman climate refugees.
