For over thirty years, global climate change negotiations have struggled to curb dramatically rising carbon emissions. *Negotiating Climate Change in Crisis*, co-edited by Steffen Böhm and Sian Sullivan, critically examines the persistent failures within these high-level talks and proposes pathways for more decisive action. This collection features twenty-eight essays from a diverse group of international scholars and climate activists, offering a multifaceted exploration of the climate crisis.

The book delves into crucial themes such as existing paradigms, what is prioritized in climate discourse, the impact of extraction, frontline experiences from affected countries, governance challenges, financial mechanisms, and potential actions. It provides both broad perspectives and specific case studies, including vital voices from the Global South, to illuminate the "politics of paralysis and self-destruction" that have hindered effective climate policy. This analysis offers insights for environmental and social scientists, as well as any reader seeking a deeper understanding of the ongoing climate crisis and the urgent need for change.
