Organised into three parts, the volume explores: (a) the theoretical foundations of political imaginaries and their articulation in media and political arenas; (b) case studies of climate activist groups and analyses of the visions they advance for addressing climate change; and (c) collective action-research initiatives that invite participants to question, rework and expand their political imaginaries and understandings of their own agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmphasising action-oriented research, the book bridges conceptual reflection and practical engagement, demonstrating how political imaginaries can be critically examined and reconfigured to open up alternative climate futures. It explores practical ways of supporting young people’s political agency and broadening their possibilities for engagement in climate politics. This highly interdisciplinary volume will be a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers, in several fields such as Communication Studies, Political Science, Environmental Science, Sociology, Education and Climate Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnabela Carvalho \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor (Habilit.) in the Department of Communication Sciences at the University of Minho, Portugal.
