GARCIA GIBSON, Francisco. Climate Change and Coercive Disobedience. Eidos [online]. 2022, n.37, pp.195-215. Epub 11-Jun-2022. ISSN 1692-8857. https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.37.304.25.
This article argues that when coercive disobedience is motivated by climate change, it is sometimes permissible, even if it is undemocratic. Climate change poses such a serious danger to the basic rights of millions of people worldwide that even the basic right to democracy can be justifiably displaced as a means to reduce the risks posed by a climate catastrophe. The article also replies to the claim that coercive climate disobedience is always democratic because it equalizes informal influence over public decisions, or protects the preconditions of democracy; these arguments only rescue some acts of coercive climate disobedience. The rest are still undemocratic, but they are not for this reason impermissible.
