I've been playing the Half Earth Socialism game again and was wondering about novels set in a world dealing with climate change and scarcity.

Well they're not quite post-revolution, but The Windup Girl and The Water Knife are both pretty interesting near-future sci-fi books by Paolo Bacigalupi, set in the same timeline (I think) at different times.
The latter is basically Cyberpunk Chinatown, with corporate water assassins battling to control reservoir rights.
The former is Post-Oil Biopunk in Thailand, where the Calorie Companies are in a constant genetic tech race to beat the various super crop blights they used on each other, and scarcity of high ROE fuels led to development of mechanical energy storage and bioengineered work animals.
(But possibly a content warning for the Windup Girl - being a bioroid in a book about our oft-abusive relationships with our creations does not put her into a very pleasant situation)
Apologies for the triple-post!
That sounds really cool
