Decolonizing transformations through 'right relations'

Irmelin Gram-Hanssen et al.

Summary: Climate change is seen as a result of colonization and efforts for adaptation and transformation should be based on decolonizing practices. Indigenous conceptualization of relationality is key to decolonization. Embracing 'right relations' can help further the process of decolonization and lead to equitable and sustainable transformations.

Patterns of European bioeconomy policy. Insights from a cross-case study of three policy areas

Thomas Vogelpohl et al.

Summary: The concept of the bioeconomy has gained popularity among governments worldwide as a new paradigm for sustainable economy, but its actual definition and direction remain contentious, leading to vague policy strategies. The European bioeconomy policy, despite having two dedicated strategies, appears to be fragmented and diverse in concrete political processes and measures. The overarching pattern of European bioeconomy policy is more influenced by specific problem structures, institutional frameworks, and actor constellations in its sub-areas rather than the ambiguous concept of the bioeconomy.

'Murderous energy' in Oaxaca, Mexico: wind factories, territorial struggle and social warfare

Alexander Dunlap et al.

Summary: This article explores the struggle against the new EDF wind park in Union Hidalgo, Mexico, highlighting Indigenous land defense and discussing wind energy as 'wind factories'. It reveals the counterinsurgency colonial model as a foundational approach to extractive development, and argues that the distribution of money, Sicarios, and NGOs are crucial for engineering 'social acceptance'. Additionally, the liberalism within NGOs may inadvertently promote infrastructural colonization and wider trajectories of (neo)colonialism if not carefully monitored.

Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism

Unai Pascual et al.

Summary: The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch in how living nature is conceived and valued, leading to hindrances in protecting biodiversity. Addressing this problem calls for a pluralistic perspective on biodiversity, considering the use of the concept, willingness to expand its ambit, and engagement with various drivers of change.

Environmental justice and REDD plus safeguards in Laos: Lessons from an authoritarian political regime

Sabaheta Ramcilovic-Suominen et al.

Summary: Balancing climate mitigation agendas with environmental justice remains a challenge in climate change governance, especially in mechanisms like REDD+. This study examines the REDD+ process in Laos through an environmental justice framework, highlighting challenges faced by marginalized communities and the role of authoritarian control in hindering justice. The findings question the adequacy of safeguards in promoting justice under a nationally driven REDD+ program, emphasizing the importance of recognition and the political context in shaping justice outcomes.

Climate change, COVID-19, and the co-production of injustices: a feminist reading of overlapping crises

Farhana Sultana

Summary: Since 2020, the overlapping global socio-ecological crises of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic have dominated discussions, revealing structural inequities and systemic marginalizations across different scales and locations. The ongoing climate change amplifies, compounds, and creates new forms of injustices and stresses, while the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has also co-created new challenges, vulnerabilities, and burdens. An intersectional analysis of these interconnected global crises highlights the importance of investigating and addressing them simultaneously through a feminist lens to understand the co-production of injustices structurally, materially, and discursively.

Plunder in the Post-Colonial Era: Quantifying Drain from the Global South Through Unequal Exchange, 1960-2018

Jason Hickel et al.

Summary: This paper quantifies the drain from the global South through unequal exchange since 1960, finding that the intensity of exploitation and the scale of unequal exchange increased significantly during the structural adjustment period of the 1980s and 1990s. Rich countries continue to rely on imperial forms of appropriation to sustain their high levels of income and consumption.

Is bioeconomy policy a policy field? A conceptual framework and findings on the European Union and Germany

Annette Elisabeth Toeller et al.

Summary: Based on research, bioeconomy policy can be characterized as an emerging policy field at most. However, due to limited institutionalization, incomplete actor structure, and lack of bioeconomy-specific tools, its establishment as a standalone policy field is hindered.

Volatile Photovoltaics: Green Industrialization, Sacrifice Zones, and the Political Ecology of Solar Energy in Germany

Andrea Brock et al.

Summary: The article examines the rise and fall of the solar industry in Bitterfeld, Germany, and highlights the failures of green industrialization. It argues that solar energy development is rooted in a similar industrial growth model as fossil fuels and gray industrialization, leading to inequalities and negative impacts on a wider range of spatial locations. The spatial justice framework for solar energy reveals the social and ecological costs of energy transitions that have been underresearched yet deserve heightened attention.

Who are the victims of low-carbon transitions? Towards a political ecology of climate change mitigation

Benjamin K. Sovacool

Summary: This study critically examines the implications of energy justice in climate change mitigation through a review of literature on geography and political ecology over the past 20 years. It identifies four distinct processes in the political ecology of low-carbon transitions and suggests areas for future research, emphasizing inclusivity, diversity, and policy focus. The study highlights the need to prioritize sustainability over poverty in low-carbon transitions and climate action, aiming for a more pluralistic, democratic, and just future.

Post-pandemic transformations: How and why COVID-19 requires us to rethink development

Melissa Leach et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is seen as a long awaited pandemic that has brought societies and economies to their knees, highlighting the need to examine the structural and unpredictable processes behind it. The crisis has shown the challenges of using scientific advice in policy-making, the limitations of traditional economic models, and the importance of reshaping citizen-state relations through new forms of politics. The post-pandemic development must focus on transformative, egalitarian and inclusive approaches, moving away from top-down, rigid economic goals.

The future of 'environmental' policy in the Anthropocene: time for a paradigm shift

Frank Biermann

Summary: The author argues that the current environmental policy paradigm needs to be revisited and changed as it is unable to address the challenges brought about by the current earth system transformations and the recognition of the "Anthropocene." The paradigm lacks integrated research concepts, neglects issues of planetary justice and democracy, and may risk marginalizing important concerns.

New directions in environmental justice studies: examining the state and violence

Erik Kojola et al.

Summary: The field of environmental justice studies has rapidly developed into a multidisciplinary body of scholarship in the past few decades, spanning across social sciences, humanities, law, and sciences. It focuses on examining the role of state and institutional violence in producing environmental injustice through interlocking systems of racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and enslavement. Research themes include land and resource conflicts, prisons and incarceration, and emotions.
