Perspectives on a Global Green New Deal features climate justice advocates and critical scholars from around the globe on reparations, migration, oceans, and much more (online version & pdf are both free). The fantastic companion podcast "Planet B: Everything Must Change" episodes: 1. Work, 2. Land; 3. Infrastructure; 4. Water; 5. Migration; 6. Debt.
Planet B producer Novara Media also includes the full interviews with brilliant people like Jayati Ghosh on escaping the international debt trap and Tina Ngata on decolonizing the oceans.

In the few links I checked out I didn't see anything about decoupling. Perhaps I missed it?
I bring it up not to support it, but because it seems like an important conceptual hurdle to debunk before moving on to design parameters of future policy.
We really can't go on like this. People have to understand there is no way to have the cake and eat it too.

I forget whos slogan this is but "this civilization is finished" - becauase either climate change wipes us out or the transformation we undergo to mitigate, adapt and prevent worse change is so drastix that it is unrecognizable.
looking forward to listening to planet b.

Thanks for this post. I often think about how to raise my child in a world in complete transformation. I don't know what to prepare them for and cannot count on even my own future. Trying to become more comfortable with preparing for "everything will change, probably rapidly" as the throughline.

The podcast features extended interviews and the Greek MPis well worth the time. Likewise I think the debt one is a good way to reframe the debate.
To put the Planet B advocacy into the schema of Climate Leviathan - the authors names escape me, Planet B is Climate Mao?
