Queering Climate Solidarity
Abstract

This paper examines the radical potential of queering climate solidarity in an era of ecological crisis. Building on queer theory’s challenge to normativity and complicity, I explore how queering climate justice disrupts binary framings of identity, nature, and culture, producing epistemic ruptures that unsettle dominant ways of knowing. Drawing on Nordic cases of convergence between queer, Indigenous Sami, and environmental activism, I argue that queering climate solidarity foregrounds intersectional vulnerabilities as a resource, mobilizes playful and refusal-based tactics, and reimagines coalitional politics beyond “business as usual.” Rather than an inclusionary gesture, I suggest that queering climate solidarity opens space for approaches that confront settler colonialism, hetero- and cisnormativity, and other systemic violences underpinning the climate crisis. This is an invitation to think beyond normative frames and toward futures not yet here.

Bio: Elisabeth Lund Engebretsen (she/they) is Professor of Gender Research in the Department of Media and Social Sciences, University of Stavanger, Norway. 
A trained anthropologist, sinologist and feminist and queer studies scholar, Engebretsen specializes in ethnographic analyses of gender and sexual diversities, intersectional inequalities, political activism and theory-building in the empirical contexts of China, East Asia, transnational cultures, and Nordic Europe. Recent and current work focus on Nordic and transnational anti-LGBTQ+ mobilizations, Pride politics, climate justice and lesbian and queer history. Most recently, Engebretsen co-edited the anthology Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere (Bloomsbury 2024; with Jinyan Zeng) and published a chapter on queer climate justice for the anthology Queer and Trans Life: Anthropological Futures (Berghahn 2025).
