Andreas Malm (born 1976 or 1977)[1] is a Swedish[2] author and an associate professor of human ecology at Lund University.

[7] In 2010, Malm joined the Socialistiska Partiet; he had been in contact with the party since attending a summer camp it ran in 1997.

[8] In 2014, Malm successfully defended his thesis Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam-Power in the British Cotton Industry, c. 1825–1848, and the Roots of Global Warming, and obtained a PhD from Lund University.

[9] He released a reworked version of his thesis as Fossil Capital, published by Verso Books.

[3][14] In his book How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire, published in 2021, he argued that sabotage and property damage are logical components of the movement against human-caused climate change.
