Epistemic justice as energy justice
Addressing the climate crisis requires renewable energy, however, developing renewable energy should be equitable. In this article, we analyze a 15-year-old transnational hydroelectric power development conflict involving Indigenous rights in Mapuche-Williche territory, Chile and a Norwegian state-owned company, Statkraft. We seek to advance the field of energy justice by evaluating injustices in this transnational conflict. At the heart of the c…
Growing a Better Future
Planting trees is a prominent strategy to address myriad environmental crises, including climate change and biodiversity loss. I approach this form of tree planting as a preeminent practice of environmental restoration in the Anthropocene. I focus on temporality, an approach that counters the dominant understanding of tree planting as something that occurs in a specific moment of time-the moment a tree is planted. Yet, I show through my review of…
Forest Policy Innovation at the Subnational Scale
REDD+ is often characterised as a ‘global’ environmental framework implemented in tropical forests around the world. Yet studying actual cases of REDD+ can reveal complex interactions between scales, including under-recognised innovations at subnational and local scales. To understand these dynamics, this article brings together academics and policymakers to analyse the System of Incentives for Environmental Services (SISA)—a pioneering subnation…

The Government of Beans
T hinking about agriculture, states, and colonialism together offers great insight into this age often referred to as the Anthropocene.This is what Kregg Hetherington's book The Government of Beans: Regulating Life in the Age of Monocrops does marvellously well.While the book talks some about the beans themselves, it centers on soy's interactions with things that seem to exist apart from soy in Paraguay-borders, the regulatory state, landscapes, …
Green distributive politics
Beneficiaries of Forest Carbon
Sustainable development projects and progressive politics of all kinds emphasize inclusion. Sometimes inclusion is meant to occur through giving benefits to poorer people, who are then governed as "beneficiaries." But what does it mean to be a beneficiary? I examine this question through analyzing climate-motivated forest-protection efforts in the Amazonian state of Acre, Brazil, that distribute benefits to poorer smallholders. This environmental…
Rubber and Carbon
The concept of 'opportunity costs' has been important in theoretical discussions of Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES). It focuses attention on economic trade-offs of individual landholders and can make providing ecosystem services, such as tropical forest carbon sequestration, appear to be a cost-effective way to reduce near-term carbon emissions. Yet in practice, the concept may be less useful. This article examines how a programme in the Am…
The value of the untenured forest
Tropical forests are newly valuable because of the carbon they sequester. Yet it is not clear who will benefit as a result. This article examines forest carbon's new value in Acre, Brazil. It argues that a state program (the System of Incentives for Environmental Services - SISA) shifts forest carbon's value from land to certain forms of labor. This approach allows the government to allocate it to poorer people without access to formal land tenur…

The Environmental Injustice of “Clean Coal”
Over the past decade, the coal industry has created a multi-million dollar public relations campaign to insulate coal from the green energy revolution and the anticipated public backlash against dirty and unsustainable fuels. This campaign, promoting “clean coal,” has effectively shifted the national conversation on energy and climate change to situate coal as a viable clean energy source and the best option available to mitigate climate change. …
