Between 2016 and 2022, several graduate and undergraduate students and I interviewed activists who had developed local projects that relate climate change to food insecurity, domestic violence, financial instability, gender inequity, inadequate healthcare and education, and environmental degradation. As the previous chapter indicated, to achieve maximum effectiveness, local projects must be integrated into transnational advocacy networks (TANs). To demonstrate the many ways this occurs, this chapter features ten cases of oral history interviews – four from Central America, two from Southeast Asia, two from Europe, and two from Africa.enbook-chapter10.1108/978-1-80382-919-720231005
