Revolutionary Ecology

Revolutionary Ecology is a perspective within environmentalism that emphasizes the need for radical change in society to tackle ecological crises. It argues that traditional approaches, like reforms and sustainable practices, are insufficient because they often maintain existing power structures. Advocates believe that addressing environmental issues requires a fundamental transformation of economic, social, and political systems to promote a more equitable and sustainable relationship with nature. This perspective often intersects with social justice, highlighting that ecological problems are deeply connected to issues of inequality and oppression.
