Climate, nature or people? a critical discourse analysis of a contentious solar energy project in Leipzig, Germany
Equity, diversity and inclusion promises, exclusive practices? How to move towards effective and just energy transitions
Equitable, diverse and inclusive action in a climate emergency is not optional – it is an imperative. Despite the growing rhetoric for inclusive energy systems transformations, many such promises are often empty signifiers and lack substantive action. For energy transitions to be effective and sustainable, they must include, prioritize, and benefit diverse groups, encompassing marginalized communities, underrepresented stakeholders and those disp…

Autonomy and pluriversal energy futures in Ladakh, India
In Ladakh, a trans-Himalayan region of India, two drastically opposite visions of energy transition are colliding head-on. The first is a grassroots, indigenous approach that emphasises on low-impact and socioecologically just energy practices, meant primarily for local consumption. The other is a government and corporate driven, technocratic vision pushing for large-scale energy infrastructure and critical mineral mining, to supply energy to hig…
Understanding risk communication in practice
Risk communication is emerging as an important risk-reduction and resilience-building strategy to deal with future risks to communities. However, the linkages between municipalities’ risk communication approaches and existing development priorities remain underexplored. The paper examines ways in which risk communication is practised at the municipal level in the Canadian context, using five municipalities of varying sizes in the province of Albe…
Physically apart but socially connected
Urban green spaces, like community gardens, received increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from an ethnographic study on participating in community garden activities in Edmonton, Canada and inputs from 194 gardeners and 21 garden coordinators, this paper captures the experiences of creating community during a pandemic. Garden coordinators had to rethink and rework their operating styles in keeping participants physically apart…
Urban Planning as an Instrument for Disaster Risk Reduction in the Uttarakhand Himalayas
Because of its location in the Indian Himalayas, the mountainous state of Uttarakhand is prone to multiple natural hazards and climate change extremes. At the same time, Uttarakhand is experiencing unprecedented population growth and undergoing rapid urbanization. Urban planning instruments like land use plans and building regulations allow disaster risk measures to be integrated in the rapidly emerging urban form. However, resources for formulat…

Adopting a governance lens to address urban risks in the Uttarakhand Himalayas
The Indian Himalayan State of Uttarakhand is experiencing population growth and undergoing the process of urbanization. This is happening in a region predisposed to multiple natural hazards and exposed to climate change extremes. The urban development process unfolding under these circumstances is largely unplanned and unregulated and has overwhelmed the municipal capacity to address it. Existing research has largely adopted a hazard-based approa…
Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place
The mountainous state of Uttarakhand in the Indian Himalayas is experiencing population growth and undergoing a process of rapid urbanization. This is causing concern, because the Uttarakhand Himalayas are exposed to multiple natural hazards and are vulnerable to climate change extremes. Mountain municipalities in Uttarakhand are typically small and lack the human and financial resources to address risk in the rapidly emerging built form. This ar…
Understanding the uneven geography of urban energy transitions
Cities are important partners in developing solutions towards a low-carbon pathway. However, given the variation in geography, a need exists to study urban energy transitions through a nuanced approach that addresses space- and place-based factors. Based on document analysis and interviews with municipal employees and local energy experts in Edmonton, Canada, we explore how location and availability of energy sources, political territoriality, ph…
