Inching towards the pluriverse
Political ontology research has highlighted how the dominance of the Euro-modern ontology over other ontologies renders other-than-scientific knowledges as subordinate or untrue. Despite the commitment to base conservation efforts on Indigenous and local ecological knowledge, epistemic injustice—understood as the marginalization of more-than-scientific knowledge holders and society's inability to make sense of more-than-scientific knowledges—has …
Balancing tensions for just transition
Recent years have witnessed an increasing corporate interest in food system climate actions – concurrent with a delay in public authorities’ willingness to implement effective policies in the sector. Within the field of just food system transitions, there is growing concern that mitigation activities are being strategically slowed down with social justice arguments. Yet the roles and responsibilities of private sector actors have been understudie…
Unravelling recognition injustices in biodiversity offsetting policies and practices
Global political economies and local cultural histories entwine in the practices of biodiversity offsetting policies. • Histories of nonrecognition can easily be reproduced in new conservation policies if not given proper attention. • Equivalating what is legal to what is just upholds prevalent power relations and hampers recognition justice of IPLCs. • Offsetting policies can be adapted to enable transformative recognition to IPLCs. Biodiversity…
Conflicting interests in the standard setting process of the Pefc forest certification scheme in Finland
Ontological conflict over forests in Inari/Aanaar
This article explores the conflict over forests in the Sámi homeland of Northern Finland with a focus on recent events since 2018 and the role of the Forest Steward Council (FSC) certification scheme. Data gathered during fieldwork was analysed utilising narrative analysis and a Political Ontology lens to establish: 1) how the conflict over forests in Finnish Sápmi is an ontological conflict, and 2) how different ontologies were performed into be…
From timber to carbon
Policy acceptance is critical for legitimate and effective forest and climate policies. The acceptance of forest policies has been largely examined as an individual decision, especially among forest owners, based on attitudes, values and beliefs. To improve the usefulness of the concept of policy acceptance for political analysis, this article analyses the acceptance of key forest policy stakeholders and offers a novel contribution by integrating…
Reflexive use of methods
In transformative sustainability science, reflexivity is considered critical for ethically sound and socially relevant research. In practice, many transdisciplinary knowledge co-production processes have faced problems in mitigating power hierarchies among the participating actors and the different types of knowledge. In this paper, we develop and test a reflexive framework that enables transdisciplinary researchers to convey more explicitly how …
What about citizens? A literature review of citizen engagement in sustainability transitions research
Public engagement is understood as a prerequisite for sustainability transitions. Yet, it has remained peripheral to the transitions research agenda and the efforts to engage citizens in transitions research remain scattered. Thus, there is a need to create a more holistic understanding of how citizens participate in knowledge co-creation for sustainability transitions. We review the sustainability transitions literature from the perspective of c…
Finnish dairy farmers’ perceptions of justice in the transition to carbon-neutral farming
Environmental and political debate concerning the role of agriculture in sustainability has long been on the agenda. However, owing to climate change, an analysis of the transition to a low-carbon society must also be considered from the perspective of justice. Dairy farming, in particular, faces pressure in this context, when contemplating changing consumer behaviors and reduction in the carbon footprint of dairy products. Accordingly, many dair…
