From environmental to climate justice: social-environmental expulsions and the emergence of a climate edge in Europe

Building on critical social theory and the concept of expulsions, the authors introduce “climate edge” as the point where environmental injustices and future climate vulnerabilities converge. Through exampination of case studies drawn from European contexts, they highlight how such “climate edge” sites reflect long chains of displacement and emerging climate conflict. The conclusion is that cliamte edges in Europe mark spaces of social struggle and signal potential sites of transformation.
