In 2018, a wave of climate change activism emerged in response to calls from scientists for urgent, unprecedented, and far-reaching changes to address the climate crisis. Three social movements, Extinction Rebellion, Fridays for Future, and the Sunrise Movement, have received the most attention and continue to grow. Synthesizing and integrating Erik Olin Wright’s theories of social transformation, the authors apply Wright’s work to analyze these movements and identify barriers and opportunities moving forward. While significant forces of social reproduction continue to shape politics and constrain climate action, unintended social consequences combined with new social movements are ripening conditions for transformation. The authors identify non-reformist reforms, a forceful form of symbiotic transformation pushed forward by social movements, as the most likely strategy to address the climate crisis and catalyze broader emancipatory transformation. While climate movements face significant opposition, they continue to grow and create a stronger trajectory for deep social change.

气候危机是解放性转型的催化剂：对可能的

2018 年，为响应科学家呼吁采取紧急、前所未有且影响深远的变革来应对气候危机，出现了一波气候变化激进主义浪潮。三场社会运动，灭绝叛乱，未来的星期五和日出运动，受到了最多的关注并继续增长。作者综合并整合了埃里克·奥林·赖特 (Erik Olin Wright) 的社会转型理论，应用赖特 (Wright) 的工作来分析这些运动并确定前进的障碍和机遇。虽然社会再生产的重要力量继续塑造政治并限制气候行动，但意外的社会后果与新的社会运动相结合，正在为转型提供成熟的条件。作者确定了非改良主义的改革，这是一种由社会运动推动的强有力的共生转型形式，作为应对气候危机和促进更广泛的解放性转型的最有可能的战略。虽然气候运动面临着强烈的反对，但它们继续发展并为深刻的社会变革创造了更强大的轨迹。
