Understanding female household heads’ barriers to profiting from coffee in Southern Rwanda
Earth Rights for the Advancement of a Planetary Health Agenda
This article discusses Earth’s Rights as an environmental justice mechanism of reparation, protection, and justice for indigenous communities, environmental defenders, and other populations in Latin America. We argue that Earth’s rights encompass and include the right to health and can be integrated into international human rights frameworks to protect all forms of life, responding to colonial legacies of discrimination and violence. We respond t…
Spatial injustice to energy access in the shadow of hydropower in Brazil
Hydroelectric dams generate adverse social and ecological consequences for communities in their vicinity, particularly those situated in rural areas, far from urban centers, and lacking significant political and economic influence. There is relatively little research on how hydroelectric projects change local energy services. In this study, we investigate whether Jirau and Santo Antônio—two dams in the Brazilian Amazon—have impacted energy source…
Impacts of hydropower development on locals’ livelihoods in the Global South
The construction of hydroelectric dams in the Global South and emerging economies is controversial; on one hand, advocates highlight the positive impacts at national and global scales, such as national development and independence from fossil fuels. On the other hand, opponents of dams stress the negative social-ecological impacts on the livelihoods of communities near construction sites, and the lack of local communities participation in the dec…
Pretend Participation: Procedural Injustices in the Madeira Hydroelectric Complex
Are large-scale hydroelectric dams inherently undemocratic
Construction of large-scale hydroelectric dams has increased in recent decades in the Global South and emerging economies. Population resettlement is one of the most severe socioeconomic impacts caused by dam construction. Processes aiming to mitigate its impacts and restore livelihoods are often described as inadequate. The resettlement process’ ineffectiveness could be explained by persistent deficiency in citizen participation, which is also a…
