As climate impacts intensify and governments continue to delay action, more people are turning to protest, disruption, and civil disobedience to demand change. But when laws uphold injustice, is breaking them not only justified — but necessary? Today’s guest is Dr. Kimberley Brownlee, Canada Research Chair in Ethics and Political and Social Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. She is also the author of several books, including Conscience and Conviction: The Case for Civil Disobedience. Kimberley explains what civil disobedience is and presents her argument for why it is a moral right and, sometimes, a duty. We also discuss debates on civil disobedience and climate change prompted by the book How to Blow Up a Pipeline and reflect on the current political climate.
