From wilderness to cohabitation: Literature review on human presence in environmental ethics
Land use and biodiversity conservation are increasingly recognized as ethical and value-laden topics rather than merely ecological or socio-technical problems. While this has increased multidisciplinary and participatory approaches in research, explicit engagement with environmental ethics, where those questions are scrutinized though an ethical lens, remains limited. To address this need, we reviewed how the environmental ethics literature defin…
A landscape framework for an environmental land use ethic
Land use practices and their expansion raise pressing questions for environmental ethics and have been identified as a key driver of biodiversity loss. In this article, we examine how well the existing environmental ethics and political philosophy approaches suit for addressing the normative questions of land use, especially when empirical knowledge about human land use impacts on nonhuman life is also considered. We point out that the current ap…
Sensemaking and abductive reasoning for transformative biodiversity conservation
Transformative biodiversity conservation requires innovative approaches that expand knowledge production in complex social‐ecological systems, incorporating diverse perspectives to effectively address biodiversity loss. Conservation efforts often involve working with incomplete data, uncertain conditions and unforeseen challenges, while also navigating the varied power dynamics, values and interests of multiple actors. Beyond optimising existing …
Just agrifood transitions: A cross-country comparison of stakeholder perceptions between Finland and England
Sustainability transitions in agrifood systems imply significant changes in agriculture encompassing land use and farming practices as well as the goods produced. Transition processes are challenging and politically contested in many European countries with various climatic, market, and policy conditions. However, research has not yet examined how perceptions of justice in agricultural sustainability transitions differ or align between countries …

Industrial workers’ perceptions on just transition and work in four Finnish regions: Three-level solutions
We explore workers' perceptions on just transition in energy-intensive industries. • Justice perceptions depend on factors that primarily drive decarbonization locally. • Solutions vary based on regional and industry features influencing vulnerability. • Workers’ capacity-building requires solutions tailored to varying life situations. • Our findings call for revising understanding of actors responsible for justice. Just low-carbon transition rai…
Policy mixes for just transitions: A holistic evaluation framework
In this paper, we develop a holistic policy evaluation framework that aims to harness a fuller potential of just transitions. Although appeals for broader understanding of just transitions are becoming louder, applicable frameworks supporting consideration of justice in the planning and evaluation of transition policies are still lacking. The evaluation framework developed integrates the multidimensional understanding of justice more consistently…
Particularizing Nonhuman Nature in Stakeholder Theory: The Recognition Approach
Stakeholder theory has grown into one of the most frequent approaches to organizational sustainability. Stakeholder research has provided considerable insight on organization–nature relations, and advanced approaches that consider the intrinsic value of nonhuman nature. However, nonhuman nature is typically approached as an ambiguous, unified entity. Taking nonhumans adequately into account requires greater detail for both grounding the status of…
Right to Food and Geoengineering
Climate change poses grave risks to food security, and mitigation and adaptation actions have so far been insufficient to lessen the risk of climate-induced violations of the right to food. Could safeguarding the right to food, then, justify some forms of geoengineering? This article examines geoengineering through the analytical lens of the right to food. We look at the components of food security and consider how the acceptability of geoenginee…

Responsibilities for just transition to low-carbon societies: A Role-Based Framework
Low-carbon transitions in industrialised societies will have significant social, economic and environmental impacts, raising concerns of justice. Calls for urgent transitions evoke a question about the roles of different actors in advancing transitions and ensuring they are just. While the responsibilities for emission mitigation have been long discussed, responsibilities for making a just transition have not. The question about responsibilities …
Just transition principles and criteria for food systems and beyond
Planetary well-being
Tensions between the well-being of present humans, future humans, and nonhuman nature manifest in social protests and political and academic debates over the future of Earth. The increasing consumption of natural resources no longer increases, let alone equalises, human well-being, but has led to the current ecological crisis and harms both human and nonhuman well-being. While the crisis has been acknowledged, the existing conceptual frameworks a…
Social vulnerability to climate policies: Building a matrix to assess policy impacts on well-being
In this article, we address the social vulnerability of people to climate mitigation policies and contribute to assessing the social impacts of climate policies by introducing a matrix tool for conducting vulnerability assessments and participatory climate policy planning. The matrix serves as a methodological tool for identifying social groups in their social spaces. First, we lay the foundation for the matrix by linking social vulnerability to …
Justice in transitions: Widening considerations of justice in dietary transition
Just transition is gaining increasing attention.The need to consider social justice in sustainability transitions is finally being acknowledged.Research on this issue has, to date, mainly concentrated on energy systems.In this paper, we examine how the elaboration of dietary transition widens the spectrum of justice questions in sustainability transitions research.We explicate the arising normative questions along the dimensions of distributive, …
Is there a convincing case for climate veganism
Climate change compels us to rethink the ethics of our dietary choices and has become an interesting issue for ethicists concerned about diets, including animal ethicists. The defenders of veganism have found that climate change provides a new reason to support their cause because many animal-based foods have high greenhouse gas emissions. The new style of argumentation, the ‘climatic argument(s) for veganism’, may benefit animals by persuading e…

Is Broad the New Deep in Environmental Ethics? A Comparison of Broad Ecological Justice and Deep Ecology
I argue in this article that a theory of broad ecological justice or the extended capabilities approach, an interesting approach in contemporary environmental ethics, shares many of its core ideas with deep ecology and Arne Næss’s ecosophy T. The similarities between these approaches include the ambition to address the roots of environmental problems, emphasis on recognition and the criticism of oppressive structures, and a systemic orientation. …
