Introduction to special section on feminist political ecology
Revisiting the social licence to operate in the energy transition
In energy transitions research, the ‘social licence to operate’ (SLO) is often seen as a vital component in building coalitions between renewable energy developers and communities that host renewable energy development. In efforts to achieve the social licence, developers often seek to demonstrate social responsibility and create tangible benefits for inhabitants of communities or regions at the frontline of the energy transition. This can entail…
Winning coalitions for just transitions
In recent years, attention within the sustainability transitions literature has focused on the politics of deliberately accelerating sustainability transitions. One core strand of this research has been to understand the role of coalition-building in supporting or undermining decarbonisation efforts. This scholarly work has clear synergies with the on-the-ground environmental justice movement, yet to date there has been limited exchange between t…
Creating fairer futures for sustainability transitions
Futures thinking is an expanding interdisciplinary field which is seen as a key element of transitioning towards a more sustainable planet and society. Developing fairer futuring is increasingly urgent in the context of the radical reconfiguration of current systems needed to meet complex global sustainability challenges. However, explicit consideration of uneven power and participation and the nature-society relations that feature in contemporar…
The ‘Stifling’ of New Climate Politics in Ireland
In 2019, Ireland declared a ‘Climate Emergency,’ receiving plaudits from across the political spectrum for doing so. Some argued the country was experiencing an era of ‘new climate politics’: In 2017, Ireland had established the first Citizens’ Assembly on Climate, and in 2019 its Parliament debated a Climate Emergency Measures Bill, which was ground-breaking in its proposal to ban offshore oil and gas exploration. Yet, despite majority support f…
A veto for the government’
Veto players hold the capacity to decline a choice being made, making them powerful actors within legislative systems. During 2016–2020, Ireland was governed by a minority government, reliant on confidence and supply votes from other parliamentarians, thus it did not hold a veto during parliamentary votes. However, if the independent Bills Office and Ceann Comhairle deemed a ‘Money Message’ would be necessary for a Private Members’ Bill (PMB), ev…
