The energy transition's double democratic gap
Energy governance has long relied on an interest-group-representation model of procedural justice, which centers active participation in technocratic decision-making processes as its primary mode of democratic engagement. This study investigates the limits of that model in addressing racialized energy insecurity in the United States' South. We theorize and demonstrate what we term a double democratic governance gap between the needs of energy vul…
An uncooperative transition
Policymakers increasingly take for granted that major private sector investments will be crucial to decarbonizing energy systems. Most decarbonization plans also involve expansion of the electricity grid to accommodate the electrification of processes and technologies currently powered by fossil fuels. Baked into these dominant policies and discourses is the assumption that electricity can and should be treated as a commodity, and must be rendere…
Picking up the slack
Stakeholder engagement in the co-production of knowledge for environmental decision-making
Spectacle of Nature 2.0
In this article, we bring together understandings of the spectacle of nature and spectacle 2.0 to show how people are invited to participate in the spectacular production of nature. Recent work has expanded on the Debordian notion of spectacle, interrogating the ways people do not just consume images, but help to produce and enact spectacle: spectacle 2.0. Building on this, we argue that in conservation, consumers increasingly interact with the s…
Principles for knowledge co-production in sustainability research
A synthesis of the frameworks available to guide evaluations of research impact at the interface of environmental science, policy and practice
Evaluating the impacts of environmental science on policy and practice is inherently challenging. Impacts can take a variety of forms, occur over protracted timeframes and often involve subtle and hard-to-track changes. As a result, diverse impacts are impossible to capture through traditional academic metrics such as publications and citations, and cannot be captured by focusing solely on end results of a given research project, such as changes …
What the Gringos Brought
Privately Protected Areas (PPAs) are a growing trend in conservation and have been promoted by global environmental institutions such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as an essential component for achieving conservation targets. PPAs are on the rise worldwide and particularly in Chile, where neoliberal reform has created new spaces in conservation management for private individuals and civil society. However, littl…
The politics of co-production
Understanding the Impacts of Research Synthesis
Research synthesis is the integration of existing knowledge and research findings pertinent to an issue. The aim of synthesis is to increase the generality and applicability of those findings and to develop new knowledge through the process of integration. Synthesis is promoted as an approach that deals with the challenge of öinformation overload’, delivering products that further our understanding of problems and distil relevant evidence for dec…
