Roger Hallam

Roger Hallam is a British environmental activist and co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, the global climate protest movement that brought mass civil disobedience to the forefront of climate activism. He is one of the most controversial and influential figures in modern environmentalism. Common Sense for the 21st Century lays out Hallam's case for mass civil disobedience as the only effective response to the climate emergency. Drawing on social science research and historical precedent, he argues that conventional political channels have failed and that only disruptive, nonviolent protest can force the radical change needed to prevent ecological collapse. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a provocative, urgent argument. Hallam's work appeals to climate activists, political scientists, and anyone interested in the theory and practice of civil disobedience and the future of environmental protest.
