Blockadia is a global anti-extractivism movement;[1] and a roving, transnational conflict zone where everyday people obstruct development of extractive projects, especially in the fossil fuel industry.[1][2][3] Blockadia resistance movements differ from mainstream environmentalism by use of confrontational tactics such as civil disobedience, mass arrests, lockdowns, and blockades to contest perceived threats arising from extractivist projects’ contributions to global climate change and local environmental injustice. Some researchers have concluded that Blockadia contributes to a transition toward a more just society.[4]
Blockadia's divergence from mainstream environmentalism was initially identified in relation to environmental conflicts that contested development of the Alberta Tar Sands.[2] Increasing use of Blockadia tactics may indicate that more people are losing trust in capitalism’s ability to avert a climate crisis.[1][2]
