The aim of this article is to describe and analyse how climate activists in the city of Milan try to intervene in the production and consumption of fossil fuels. The material worked on here was accumulated over three years (2019–2021): it consists of field notes through participant observation, conversations held on messaging apps and documents made available to participants in the local coalition about the internal workings and strategic objectives of the activists. The article explores their political experiments to slow down the pace of climate change and transform the socio-political conditions that underpin the trajectory of business-as-usual. Along the way, we will witness the emergence of various agents and practices that seek to intervene to reduce or block business-as-usual—through actions that can erode the material and immaterial spaces for the reproduction of fossil fuels.

意大利米兰的气候行动主义和一切照旧的不稳定

本文的目的是描述和分析米兰市的气候活动人士如何试图干预化石燃料的生产和消费。这里的材料是三年（2019-2021）积累的：它包括通过参与者观察获得的现场笔记、在消息应用程序上进行的对话以及向当地联盟的参与者提供的关于活动人士的内部运作和战略目标的文件。本文探讨了他们为减缓气候变化的步伐并改变支撑一切照旧轨迹的社会政治条件而进行的政治实验。在此过程中，我们将目睹各种代理人和做法的出现，这些代理人和做法试图通过可能侵蚀化石燃料再生产的物质和非物质空间的行动来进行干预，以减少或阻止一切照旧。
