Young activists have come into the spotlight through extensive street demonstrations, school occupations, and engagement in other collective actions with the purpose of promoting alternative visions of the future. Multiple scholars have delved into activists\u2019 profiles, their media representations, and other topics. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of research exploring their political imaginaries. This article aims to contribute to understanding how young activists in Portugal assess the current social and political landscape and construct visions of political futures. After analyzing online texts from four climate groups, we identified four themes that offer insights into the political imaginaries of these groups. The four groups discursively negotiate political imaginaries that correspond to a wide spectrum of perspectives, ranging from collective resistance against the neoliberal capitalist system and proposals of decentralized democracy to strategies based on individual ethics and the prevalent discourses of sustainable development and ecological modernization. The plurality of political imaginaries reflects the diversity of sociopolitical stances within youth-led climate movements in Portugal and their commitment to exploring alternative ways of governing climate change.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/13607804241282942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]],"date-time":"2024-11-07T01:08:54Z","timestamp":1730941734000},"page":"416-433","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Political Imaginaries in the Climate Movement: Youth-Led Groups Constructing Plural Views of the Future"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1230-5667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Ferreira da Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Anabela","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Fernandes-Jesus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sussex, UK"},{"name":"Instituto Universit\u00e1rio de Lisboa (Iscte-IUL), CIS-Iscte, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11143\/fennia.85151"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02691728.2019.1652859"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.futures.2022.102904"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Carvalho A (2019) Media and climate justice: What space for alternative discourses?
