“…JD: A huge body of climate change literature dates back at least as far as the pioneering work of Eunice Newton Foote, 31 and a succession of scientists have developed our understanding and warned us clearly of the risks associated with climate and ecological breakdown. While this list is by no means exhaustive, some great resources include (1) reports, 25,28,32–34 ; (2) documentaries 35–37 ; (3) podcasts 38,39 ; (4) books 40–51 and even thought‐provoking fictional works 52 . A range of excellent courses and training opportunities are also available, personally I have benefited from: Climate Reality Leadership, (www.climaterealityproject.org/training), Planetary Boundaries (www.edx.org) and Zero Carbon Britain (https://cat.org.uk) training.…”

Scientific research plays a vital role for society, but carries a significant environmental footprint, involving intensive use of energy and resources. Scientists are well placed to understand the unfolding climate and ecological crises, but may not appreciate how heavily their research, and other work-related activities, contribute to emissions and pollution. With the consequences of climate change and ecological breakdown playing out in real time, scientists now have an important, urgent role to play in catalyzing solutions. Here, we explore how research organizations can reduce their environmental impact, share useful resources and encourage the global community to engage in making science more sustainable.

“…That is, who has been harmed, what those who have been harmed need, and establish who is responsible to meet those needs (72,73). NbS that also build epistemic justice can also contribute to building restorative justice by providing guidance on how to create substantive means necessary for people to have prosperous lives by, for instance, giving land back to those who have been displaced from their homes or to establish grievances mechanisms for those who need them (16,74). Without including ILK in the design of NbS in ways that intend to redress harms, these solutions risk not being durable due to being perceived as illegitimate.…”

Examining knowledge and epistemic justice in the design of nature-based solutions for water management

Over the last decade, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for water management have gained traction as triple-win options for climate action due to their ability to address social, economic, and environmental challenges. Recent developments in the literature of NbS have resulted in a body of work addressing questions about knowledge and justice. In line with these developments, this paper proposes the Knowledge and Epistemic Injustice for NbS for Water Framework (KEIN Framework) to identify the production of epistemic injustices in the design of NbS for water management. The KEIN framework draws on questions about knowledge and power raised by Avelino (2021) and five mechanisms that lead to epistemic injustice based on the work by Fricker (2007) and Byskov (2021). We apply the framework to examine a proposal presented to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) that included NbS for water management and Indigenous Peoples in South America. Rather than being an analysis of the project or the GCF per se, the goal of this analysis is to demonstrate the utility of the framework to analyze proposals during the design stage. We argue that proposals submitted to the GCF are reflective of a broadly held international environmental logic. We also identified indications that knowledge was organized and treated in a way that favored external actors at the expense of local actors.  Our analysis also revealed prejudices against people&rsquor;s epistemic capacities, with potential implications for how the generation of local knowledge is adopted on the ground. The framework illustrates how the design of NbS may minimally disrupt power relations due to the influential role that some actors have in generating knowledge. This study contributes to the operationalization of epistemic justice in designing NbS. Through the application of the proposed framework, the study contributes to future work advancing the construction of epistemically just NbS.

“…For instance, Perry (2021) argues extensions of climate finance to policy ‘targets’ extend the plantation model anew and argues for reparations in recognition of the particular harms of climate change and historical conditions of Black slavery. Intersectional ethics that address colonial, structural inequalities have significant potential to engage with philosophers like Táíwò (2022), who argues that reparations must address historical harms but that they – like climate change – are also future facing because they are about building a more just social order.…”

This report on geography and ethics focuses on the conditions of ethics. It identifies the ethical stakes of how accounts of unequal anthropogenic impacts on the Earth are specified with respect to both injustice and to what are deemed viable futures. It centres arguments of Indigenous and Black scholars regarding kinship and intersectionality, and respective ethical practices of struggle, resurgence and rebellion against the mutual oppression of peoples of colour and the environment. I identify challenges these forms of grounded practices pose to more-than-human geographies and urge an approach to understanding ethical conditions as concrete concerns.
