Historicizing the carbon forest
The novelty claims in carbon forestry often obscure the complex histories and the colonial entanglements of carbon forest socioecologies. This paper argues that the conditions of possibility of carbon forestry in 'Nigeria's last rainforest' are tightly linked to the uneven colonial production of forests across Southern Nigeria. Drawing on archival research, ethnographic fieldwork and analysis of program documents and academic literature, the pape…
Community mobilization at the convergence of conservation and extraction
This article examines the mobilization of local communities within spaces of conservation-extraction convergence in an African context. We draw on ethnographic research from the Cross River area of Nigeria to trace the trajectory of the conservation-extraction assemblage as produced through the recent intensification of state-led capitalist development that builds on a history of colonial and postcolonial resource regulation. Our analysis suggest…
Financialisation in the green economy
This paper explores the connections between financialisation in the green economy and the material commodification processes that underpin this economy. It argues that these connections are important and can be usefully conceived in terms of spaces of mutuality. These spaces of mutuality direct attention to the material processes of value creation at the level of real environmental assets. That these material processes appear thin, sluggish, frac…

‘I don’t get this climate stuff!’ Making sense of climate change among the corporate middle class in Lagos
Public engagement continues to be central to wider efforts to address climate change. This study contributes to public engagement debates by investigating engagement with climate change among an often overlooked group, the corporate middle class in Africa’s second largest megacity, Lagos. Combining survey and interviews, I focus analysis on three aspects: awareness, knowledge and concern; role of scientific and social frames in shaping general at…
Beyond utopia and a ‘power‐full’ state
Struggles of communities for rights and control over forests continue despite the rhetoric about decentralisation. Nuesiri suggests that a failing of decentralised forest management stems from its pure utopian vision that attracts both loyalty and opposition. I argue that such framing is as novel as it is problematic. A utopian frame unhelpfully purifies. It assumes that the often declared proponents of decentralisation were thoroughly ambitious …
