negotiations and agreements have been carried out for decades and targets have been set to impose reductions of greenhouse gas emissions to governments and major industries. In addition, citizens started exploring ways in which they could take part. From originally demonstrating, to attempt to put pressure on stakeholders and states that are the biggest polluters, they acknowledged that addressing climate change will realistically lead to best results if we change our economic and production systems also in our daily lives, through changing our ways of living. This article explores three types of climate change activism expressed through Urban Agriculture (UA). Through ‘proximities’, ‘disruptive dissent’ and ‘participatory urban governance’, this article analyses how UA, as a form of Climate Change activism on the ground, can help to act and to influence policies, taking illustrative examples from green capitals of Europe: Bristol in the UK and Lisbon in Portugal.

Resumo: A luta contra as mudanças climáticas é uma longa batalha que está longe de ser vencida. Negociações e acordos formais sobre mudanças climáticas vêm sendo conduzidos há décadas e metas foram estabelecidas para impor reduções nas emissões de gases de efeito estufa a governos e grandes indústrias. Além disso, os cidadãos começaram a explorar maneiras de participar. Depois de focar em protestos para tentar pressionar stakeholders e estados que são os maiores poluidores, eles reconheceram qu’a luta contra as mudanças climáticas levará a melhores resultados se mudarmos os nossos sistemas económicos e produtivos também no nosso quotidiano, mudando os nossos estilos de vida. Este artigo explora três tipos de ativismo de mudança climática expressos por meio da agricultura urbana (AU). Através de ‘proximidades’, ‘dissidência disruptiva’ e ‘governança urbana participativa’, este artigo analisa como a AU, como forma de ativismo de mudança climática no terreno, pode ajudar a agir, tomando exemplos ilustrativos de duas capitais verdes europeias: Bristol no Reino Unido e Lisboa em Portugal.

Résumé: La lutte contre le changement climatique est une longue bataille qui est loin d’être gagnée. Des négociations et des accords officiels sur le changement climatique ont été menés pendant des décennies et des objectifs ont été fixés pour imposer des réductions d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre aux gouvernements et aux principales industries. De plus, les citoyens ont commencé à explorer les moyens par lesquels ils pourraient participer. Après s’être concentrés sur les manifestations pour tenter de faire pression sur les parties prenantes et les États qui sont les plus gros pollueurs, ils ont reconnu que la lutte contre le changement climatique conduira à de meilleurs résultats si nous changeons nos systèmes économiques et de production également dans notre vie quotidienne, en changeant nos modes de vie. Cet article explore trois types d’activisme contre le changement climatique exprimés à travers l’agriculture urbaine (AU). À travers les “proximités”, la “dissidence disruptive” et la “gouvernance urbaine participative”, cet article analyse comment l’AU, en tant que forme d’activisme contre le changement climatique sur le terrain, peut aider à agir, en prenant des exemples illustratifs de deux capitales vertes Européennes: Bristol au Royaume-Uni et Lisbonne au Portugal.

Introduction: Urban Agriculture as Climate Change activism

The 2021 COP 26 showed it again: our climate is changing as a result of our activities and slowliness in changing our economic practices. If the targets negotiated focus on reducing CO2 emissions, it is the much more concrete set of actions that can help reduce these that can resonate for both governments, decision-makers, industrialists and the general public. This article explores such actions through forms of climate change activism.
