First, in a chapter together with B. Pfetsch, @zozanbaran.bsky.social and @anniewald.bsky.social, we conceptualize how lines of both conflict and solidarity in contemporary climate justice (and really, most other types of) social movements are spatially structured.

Screenshot reading: ABSTRACT Climate change exemplifies the complex spatial patterns of contemporary social issues. It spans across scales from global to local, is inequitably distributed regarding responsibilities and impacts, and connects heterogeneous actors. The notion of climate justice highlights these uneven spatialities. This chapter reflects on the spatial dimension of climate justice conflicts and solidarities. It argues, first, that local climate justice conflicts can be interpreted as spatial conflicts arising from the tensions between different spatial figures, namely, territory, place, trajectory, and network. Second, the chapter identifies spatial dimensions of solidarity and conflict in climate justice movements: between center and periphery, between local and translocal, and across scales. These considerations are brought together in a conceptual model of the actor and issue spaces of climate justice movements. Key aspects are illustrated using observations from two field trips to the coal-mining area of western Germany and to the oil- and gas-drilling region in North Dakota, USA.
