Die strukturellen Grenzen des Dekarbonisierungsstaates
Um die Klimaziele zu erreichen, haben viele OECD-Staaten ihre Bemühungen zur Dekarbonisierung ihrer Wirtschaften verstärkt. Dennoch besteht eine gravierende Umsetzungslücke, die durch den aktuellen klimapolitischen Backlash noch vergrößert wird. Ausgehend von der These eines entstehenden »Dekarbonisierungsstaates« argumentieren wir, dass ein tieferes Verständnis des liberal-kapitalistischen Staates und seiner Grundfunktionen dazu beitragen kann, …
Slow and unequal reduction in Austrian household GHG footprints between 2000 and 2020
Understanding the trends and distribution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embodied in household consumption is pivotal to developing climate‐change mitigation strategies that are just and effective. While household GHG footprints inequality is increasingly investigated, less is known about its temporal dynamics across product groups. For the case of Austria, we (1) develop a database for household GHG footprints from 2000 to 2020 by combining m…
Carbon removal, mitigation deterrence and the politics of target separation. Evidence from the EU 2040 climate target negotiation
The ongoing integration of novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods into climate policy has raised concerns that expectations of CDR may delay or undermine emission reduction efforts—a risk discussed as mitigation deterrence. Separating targets for emission reduction and CDR has emerged as a key policy proposal to address this risk, limiting the fungibility of emission reduction and CDR, and enabling critical assessment of the credibility and a…
Mit CCS zur Klimaneutralität
Bis 2045 soll Deutschland klimaneutral sein. Ein zentraler Baustein dafür ist in den Klimaneutralitätsszenarien Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). CCS erfährt heute breite Unterstützung aus verschiedenen Industriezweigen und soll nach Plänen der Ampelkoalition ein wichtiger Baustein der deutschen Klimapolitik werden. Wir analysieren mittels der historisch-materialistischen Policy-Analyse (HMPA) die Auseinandersetzungen um die Etablierung dieser Te…
The politics of carbon management in Austria
With the proliferation of net zero targets in climate policy and corporate climate governance, the question of how to deal with greenhouse gas emissions considered hard-to-abate is attracting growing attention. In this context, the notion of carbon management has emerged on the political agenda – an umbrella term typically encompassing carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon capture and utilization (CCU) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Here, w…
Carbon dioxide removal and mitigation deterrence in EU climate policy
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are rapidly evolving from renderings in climate models towards an explicit and essential component of climate policy-making. This has raised concerns that the expectations of future large-scale availability of CDR technologies may deter mitigation, i.e., delay or substitute emission reduction efforts. Here, we develop a conceptual approach to systematically study such mitigation deterrence effects in clim…
Towards transnational agrarian conflicts? Global NGOs, transnational agrobusiness and local struggles for land on Sumatra
The article explores the spatial dimension of the contested renegotiation of society-nature relations in the context of the oil palm boom in Indonesia. Drawing on qualitative research as well as on concepts of political ecology, materialist state theory and literature on the transnationalization and internationalisation of the state, it argues that conflicts in the context of the oil palm boom cannot merely be conceptualised as local negotiation …
From planetary to societal boundaries
The planetary boundaries concept has profoundly changed the vocabulary and representation of global environmental issues. We bring a critical social science perspective to this framework through the notion of societal boundaries and aim to provide a more nuanced understanding of the social nature of thresholds. We start by highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of planetary boundaries from a social science perspective. We then focus on capital…
Sozial-ökologische Transformation
Degrowth and post-extractivism
Politische Ökologie und Politics of Scale – Vermittlungszusammenhänge zwischen Raum, Natur und Gesellschaft
Political ecology approaches examine how the relation between society and nature has historically and geographically evolved through material and discursive practices. This grounds a perspective which explore the social production of nature as a physical foundation of society. This article develops a conceptual framework to integrate the dimension of scale into political ecology. This allows political ecology approaches to understand social proce…
