Resurgence & Ecologist magazine has been at the forefront of environmental reportage for over half a century. A multi-disciplinary resource, Resurgence & Ecologist explores the most pressing issues of the time through the lens of politics, economics and philosophy as well as social justice, ecology, sociology, sustainability and the arts. Providing diverse, inclusive and global views, its 50+ year archive offers both a retrospective and contemporary analysis of current affairs.

Remaining true to its roots as one of first and leading exponents of systems theory, Resurgence & Ecologist seeks to point out the links between issues as diverse as the climate crisis, war, pharmaceuticals, corporate fraud, globalisation, nuclear power, intensive farming, pollution and the power of mass media. Ahead of its time, this pioneering publication played a leading role in diagnosing the environmental crises that have become all too apparent today.

Resurgence & Ecologist brings together a broad range of acclaimed writers such as Vandana Shiva, Noam Chomsky, Bill Mckibben, Mya-Rose Craig, E.F. Schumacher, Caroline Lucas, James Lovelock, Louisa Adjoa Parker, Robert McFarlane, George Monbiot and Winona Laduke

In a world of political turbulence, social unrest and environmental challenges Resurgence & Ecologist is an invaluable resource for any institutional library.

Issue 358 • September/October 2026

In this issue we question what change actually asks of us, and how change happens. As we imagine and inhabit different ways of living and being with the other-than-human world, we must embrace the new and rediscover what has always been real: our dependence on this animate Earth.

It is easy to imagine change as something that begins somewhere else. It’s harder to recognise that it also asks something of us: that we loosen our grip on familiar ways of living.

The theme pieces in this issue explore how systems change, how stories shape transformation, how power can be reclaimed through citizenship and participation, and how new futures begin long before they become the norm. Together they remind us that while change is inevitable, the form it takes remains an open question.

Kate Raworth and Jeremy Lent ask, what if humanity’s greatest strength is not competition, but cooperation? In Connected Life, Abby Rose reflects on how telling the stories of farmers over ten years has helped reveal an emerging food system, and Melissa Harrison’s latest novel uses fiction to mirror the interconnected lives in the English countryside.
