Abstract
This article discusses the special journal issue 'Climate Action: Transforming Infrastructure, Cultivating Attentiveness, Practicing Solidarity' in the context of recent scholarship that offers critical approaches to energy transition, climate activism and mitigation policies. We particularly focus on a tradition of feminist, Black, and Indigenous scholarship that suggests that contending with the climate crisis is an intersectional process that must address the infrastructures of violent resource extraction, as well as the racialised and gender-based violence that haunts the current trajectory of the climate emergency.
This includes the quest for realising new forms of decolonial and multispecies alliances and engendering modes of analysis and resistance to the 'extractive view' to realise energy transition and climate justice.
