Challenges and opportunities for the governance of hydropower

Global impacts of extractive and industrial development projects on Indigenous Peoples’ lifeways, lands, and rights
To what extent do extractive and industrial development pressures affect Indigenous Peoples’ lifeways, lands, and rights globally? We analyze 3081 environmental conflicts over development projects to quantify Indigenous Peoples’ exposure to 11 reported social-environmental impacts jeopardizing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous Peoples are affected in at least 34% of all documented environmental conflic…
Transición energética. Consenso hegemónico y disputas desde el Sur
Gobiernos, empresas e instituciones internacionales, en los últimos años y en medio de una crisis planetaria, están empujando de forma más y más insistente una agenda global para una transición. Pero ¿qué transición, para quiénes, cómo y hacia dónde? La crisis ecológica global, producto del extractivismo y las formas de producción, consumo, comercio, transporte y generación de desechos, se agrava aún más por las reglas de acumulación de capitales…
Values and knowledges in decision-making on environmentally disruptive infrastructure projects: Insights from large dams and mines
Conflict and conservation: On the role of protected areas for environmental justice
When are protected areas drivers of environmental injustices and conflict, and under which circumstances may they support customary users in protecting their lands and livelihoods against extractivist development? We address these questions by analyzing the diverse roles that protected areas play in the context of environmental conflicts. We build a global database of 474 environmental conflicts in protected areas by overlapping data from the Wor…
Ecologies of contention: How More-Than-Human Natures Shape Contentious Actions and Politics
Which role plays the more-than-human world in shaping the possibilities for contentious actions and politics? We discuss this question by revisiting reflections from social movement theory, agrarian studies, and commons management, and by reviewing empirical cases of protest significantly shaped by ecological endowments. Distinct political ecological opportunities may arise from vulnerabilities in ecological cycles, ecological potentials, intersp…
Emotional healing as part of environmental and climate justice processes: Frameworks and community-based experiences in times of environmental suffering
This paper seeks to discuss the political role of healing practices in the context of climate and environmental justice struggles. We rely on literature and practices that have identified healing as a means for liberation from structural oppression and physical and symbolic violence, to humans, non-humans and nature – namely emotional political ecologies, transformative and healing justice and communitarian feminism. We also briefly discuss the e…
Counter-reporting sustainability from the bottom up: The case of the construction company WeBuild and dam-related conflicts
Controversies around large-scale development projects offer many cases and insights which may be analyzed through the lenses of corporate social (ir)responsibility (CSIR) and business ethics studies. In this paper, we confront the CSR narratives and strategies of WeBuild (formerly known as Salini Impregilo), an Italian transnational construction company. Starting from the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice (EJAtlas), we collect evidence from N…
Environmental justice and corporate social irresponsibility: The case of the mining company Vale S.A
After the Vale's tailings dam failure in Brumadinho (Minas Gerais) in early 2019, a group of researchers and activists from around the world produced a thematic map in the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice (EJAtlas) including 30 cases of environmental conflicts in which Vale had a prominent role. In this paper, these cases are analysed in light of Vale's corporate social responsibility (CSR) discourses and practices, aiming to explore the con…
Movements shaping climate futures: A systematic mapping of protests against fossil fuel and low-carbon energy projects
In this article we undertake a systematic mapping of 649 cases of resistance movements to both fossil fuel (FF) and low carbon energy (LCE) projects, providing the most comprehensive overview of such place-based energy-related mobilizations to date. We find that (1) Place-based resistance movements are succeeding in curbing both fossil-fuel and low-carbon energy projects. Over a quarter of projects encountering social resistance have been cancell…
Environmental conflicts and defenders: A global overview
Recent research and policies recognize the importance of environmental defenders for global sustainability and emphasize their need for protection against violence and repression. However, effective support may benefit from a more systematic understanding of the underlying environmental conflicts, as well as from better knowledge on the factors that enable environmental defenders to mobilize successfully. We have created the global Environmental …
Environmental justice and Chinese dam-building in the global South
The Global Environmental Justice Atlas (EJAtlas): Ecological distribution conflicts as forces for sustainability
More dams, more violence? A global analysis on resistances and repression around conflictive dams through co-produced knowledge
Transforming knowledge creation for environmental and epistemic justice
Is there a global environmental justice movement
One of the causes of the increasing number of ecological distribution conflicts around the world is the changing metabolism of the economy in terms of growing flows of energy and materials. There are conflicts on resource extraction, transport and waste disposal. Therefore, there are many local complaints, as shown in the Atlas of Environmental Justice (EJatlas) and other inventories. And not only complaints; there are also many successful exampl…
