The Trouble with Carbon Budgets, Offsets and Removals in Climate Litigation against States
The European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) judgment in KlimaSeniorinnen v. Switzerland represents a critical juncture in climate litigation. By endorsing a national carbon budget in combination with an extraterritorial, consumption-based approach to state responsibility, while sidestepping the contentious issues of carbon offsets and removals, I show how the Court has created an implementation paradox. The judgment cannot be implemented in a mea…
Carbon leakage as capital’s spatial fix
Political ecologies of the future
Securing conservation Lebensraum? The geo-, bio-, and ontopolitics of global conservation futures
The geographical concept of Lebensraum (“living space”) was coined most significantly by the German scholar Friedrich Ratzel towards the end of the nineteenth century. Through the lens of Lebensraum, Ratzel reformulated Darwin’s conception of evolution as a “struggle for life” into a “struggle for space”, highlighting how nonhuman species – as well as biologically conceived human 'races', nations, states, and empires – grew organically in space a…
Rescaling the land rush? Global political ecologies of land use and cover change in key scenario archetypes for achieving the 1.5 °C Paris agreement target
Advancing future-oriented perspectives in political ecology and critical agrarian studies, this paper examines projected land use and land cover change (LULCC) dynamics in four 'archetypal' scenarios foregrounded by the IPCC for limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2100. Focusing on the Global South, we explore how these archetypes project a radical reversal of historical LULCC and rural population trends, potentially implying a considerable resca…
Making sense of (the Russian war in) Ukraine
The 2022 Russian invasion has led to unprecedented public and political attention to all things Ukrainian.In this intervention, we contend that critical geographic scholarship about Eastern Europe remains wanting and that the recent attention to Ukraine may reproduce and perhaps even exacerbate entrenched perspectives.If we are to overcome the lopsided politics of knowledge and expertise about Ukraine and the wider region, underlying biases shoul…

Transformation is not a metaphor
Colonizing landscapes/landscaping colonies
I suggest that to decolonize conservation we must also decolonize our way of seeing land and nature-society relations inscribed in it as landscapes. I proceed in three parts. First, drawing on insights from post- and decolonial studies, critical geography, environmental history and political ecology, I highlight three problems that underpin a landscape way of seeing nature-society relations: depoliticization, simplification/decomplexification, an…
Impact of Tanzania’s Wildlife Management Areas on household wealth
Resisting Legibility
This article illustrates how the introduction of modern geospatial surveying technology in Tanzania has failed to resolve a boundary conflict between the state and nature conservation authorities on one side and a rural community of pastoralists on the other. Far from fixing a contested geography by resurveying its boundaries and facilitating stakeholder participation for conflict resolution, digital cartography has made visible and reanimated th…
From colonial fortresses to neoliberal landscapes in Northern Tanzania
Drawing on critical debates in political ecology and biopolitics, the article develops a "biopolitical ecology of conservation" to study historical shifts in how human and nonhuman lives come to be valued in an asymmetric way. Tanzania and the so-called Tarangire-Manyara Ecosystem illustrate how these biopolitical shifts became entangled with conservation interventions and broader visions of development throughout colonial and post-colonial histo…
Between dependence and deprivation
Studies of accumulation by dispossession in the Global South tend to focus on individual sectors, for example, large-scale agriculture or nature conservation. Yet smallholder farmers and pastoralists are affected by multiple processes of land alienation. Drawing on the case of Tanzania, we illustrate the analytical purchase of a comprehensive examination of dynamics of land alienation across multiple sectors. To begin with, processes of land alie…
Quests for Justice and Mechanisms of Suppression in Flint, Michigan
This crisis led to different forms of grassroots activism demanding political accountability, transparency, and redress. However, residents' experiences and their needs and demands in response to the crisis have been largely ignored. This article explores the mechanisms of suppression at work in obscuring these needs and demands. Specifically, it sheds light on the role of the public sector, the media, and the academic institutions in reproducing…
Creating ecotourism territories
Austere Conservation
We explore how the regime of rules over access to land, natural, and financial resources reflects the degree of community ownership of a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Tanzania. Being discursively associated with participatory and decentralised approaches to natural resource management, WMA policies have the ambition to promote the empowerment of communities to decide over rules that govern access to land and resources. Our purpose is to empir…
