IFLA! is an independent magazine with a new perspective on climate change. Escaping all kinds of polarization and distancing itself from both the remote technical language of science and the indignant outrage of activism, this independent magazine chooses a third way, the middle way. Its pages host writers and illustrators from a variety of industries who are asked to give their opinion on how climate change will affect society.
IFLA! provides original, engaging and surprising content, expanding the environmental discussion and offering a range of vocabulary and insights not found elsewhere.

ISSUE 8
In this issue of It's Freezing in LA !, we turn our attention to borders and how they become a barrier even when it comes to climate change.
We hear of people displaced by extreme weather conditions, groups fighting for the environment and communities in the grip of fossil fuel multinationals.
We explore the physical boundaries around contested spaces and resources, trace the efforts of companies and states to exert sometimes unwarranted influence over their territories, and consider how environmental remediation mechanisms could rebalance what is currently an unequal responsibility for environmental devastation.
Safeguarding and fighting for the climate also means breaking down old borders and finding ways to establish new ones, taking into account justice and regeneration: the crisis we face requires nothing less.
