Andreas Malm

Andreas Malm is a Swedish human geographer and associate professor at Lund University, where he focuses on the political economy of climate change. He is known for his radical environmental activism and Marxist analysis of the climate crisis. His provocatively titled book "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" argues for strategic property destruction as a form of climate action, challenging mainstream environmentalism's commitment to nonviolence. Malm has written extensively on fossil capitalism and the relationship between energy systems and social power. His work examines why the climate movement has remained predominantly peaceful despite the escalating ecological emergency, sparking vigorous debate about tactics in environmental struggle.
