Improving risk and impact assessments via sustainability guidance from Anishinaabe Gikendaasowin (Anishinaabe-specific Indigenous Knowledge)
Many critical minerals underpinning green energy technologies are disproportionately located on or near Indigenous lands. Hence, there is a risk that an improperly managed green energy transition will violate Indigenous rights, thereby mirroring the extractive harms of current fossil fuel-based systems. There is a need to understand the capacity for current decision-making processes to engage with Indigenous Knowledge and uphold Indigenous rights…
Theorizing Access in Global Environmental Governance: A Critical Analysis of COP26 and the Covid-19 Pandemic
Sites of global environmental governance (GEG), like the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties (UNFCCC COP), are critical spaces where state and nonstate actors grapple with our planet’s most pressing challenges. Failure to address the unequal impacts of the climate crisis has led scholars and decision makers to call for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable decision-making processes. However, the ever-increasing …
Waking from Paralysis: Revitalizing Conceptions of Climate Knowledge and Justice for More Effective Climate Action
Despite decades of climate science research, existing climate actions have had limited impacts on mitigating climate change. Efforts to reduce emissions, for example, have yet to spur sufficient action to reduce the most severe effects of climate change. We draw from our experiences as Ojibwe knowledge holders and community members, scientists, and scholars to demonstrate how the lack of recognition of traditional knowledges (TK) within climate s…
Global environmental agreement-making: Upping the methodological and ethical stakes of studying negotiations
This perspective identifies how recent advances contribute to re-evaluating and re-constructing global environmental negotiations as a research object by calling into question who constitutes an actor and what constitutes a site of agreement formation. Building on this scholarship, we offer the term agreement-making to facilitate further methodological and ethical reflection. The term agreement-making broadens the conceptualisation of the actors,…
Toward a relational approach in global climate governance: Exploring the role of trust
What role does trust play in global climate governance? For decades, claims of mistrust and distrust have dominated climate change policy arenas: doubts about climate change science and disagreements over rights and responsibilities related to mitigation, adaptation, loss, and damages undermine trust, impeding progress toward effective global climate action. And although frequently invoked in explanations of weak or failed climate action, there i…
Navigating the spaces between human rights and justice: Cultivating Indigenous representation in global environmental governance
How and in what ways do 'marginalized' actors influence global environmental governance? Through a collaborative event ethnography of the Paris Climate Summit (COP21), we examine power as it emerges through interactions between actors, institutions, and spaces, focusing on Indigenous Peoples' engagement at the international treaty negotiations. The findings show how Indigenous Peoples generate new meanings and avenues for their pursuits of justic…
Making Influence Visible: Innovating Ethnography at the Paris Climate Summit
Although Indigenous Peoples make significant contributions to global environmental governance and were prominent actors at the 2015 Paris Climate Summit, COP21, they remain largely invisible in conventional, mainstream, and academic accounts of COP21. In this article, we adopt feminist collaborative event ethnography to draw attention to often marginalized and unrecognized actors and help make visible processes that are often invisible in the stu…
Democracy in the Woods: Environmental Conservation and Social Justice in India, Tanzania, and Mexico
How can we explain when and why states strengthen, weaken, or maintain the status quo for peasant land rights? According to Prakash Kashwan, it is not simply a question of getting the incentives right or improving capacity for implementation. Instead, the answer depends on the historical, contextual evolution of forestland institutions, coupled with the everyday practice of democratic politics.In this exceptionally detailed and ambitious study, K…
Displacing difference and the barriers to environmental justice

Moments of influence in global environmental governance
International environmental negotiations such as the 10th Conference of Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP10) are state-dominated, and their outcomes are highly publicized. Less transparent is the role of non-state delegates who effect changes during negotiation processes through myriad strategies and relations. This article focuses on the influence of indigenous peoples and local community (IPLC) delegates in official COP…
Negotiating the Nagoya Protocol: Indigenous Demands for Justice
In October 2010, parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization. One impetus behind the Nagoya Protocol was the mandate to address the unjust impacts—such as the loss of access to resources, exploitation of traditional knowledge, and expropriation of rights to resources—of the global demand for genetic resour…
