Doing epistemic justice in sustainable development: Applying the philosophical concept of epistemic injustice to the real world

Sarah Cummings et al.

Summary: Originally proposed by philosopher Miranda Fricker, epistemic injustice refers to the unfair treatment of individuals and groups in knowledge-related and communicative practices, and is increasingly used to highlight individual and collective injustices in healthcare, information science, education, and sustainable development. Epistemic injustice is intertwined with other forms of social injustice and inequality, posing a significant challenge to sustainable development by undermining the global community's ability to address complex problems. This article builds upon the existing philosophical framework of epistemic injustice and integrates recent research from various fields to develop an action-oriented framework of epistemic justice, emphasizing fair treatment in knowledge-related and communicative practices. The article also expands the current understanding of individual and collective injustice by exploring structural and systemic forms of epistemic injustice, including linguistic injustice and epistemicide.

Unleashing traditional ecological knowledge for biodiversity conservation and resilience to climate change in Rwanda

Nathan Kanuma Taremwa et al.

Summary: This study aims to explore how traditional ecological knowledge systems can contribute to biodiversity conservation and resilience to climate change. The findings suggest that while the majority of local residents practice biodiversity conservation principles, it is not universal among those residing around Nyungwe National Park. Understanding forest conservation and controlled bush-burning practices are identified as crucial factors for protecting biodiversity.

Decolonising transitions in the Global South: Towards more epistemic diversity in transitions research

Bipashyee Ghosh et al.

Summary: Research on sustainable transitions in the Global South has evolved over the past decade, but is still affected by the hegemony of Western knowledge systems. To address this, decolonizing transitions research involves acknowledging everyday struggles, addressing power dynamics, informal institutions, inequality, and injustice, and integrating participatory research methods that value research subjects and embrace community practices. It is time for the research community to embrace a fresh and alternative approach to understanding, mainstreaming, and implementing transitions in the Global South.
