“…Indigenous peoples' ideas and vision have influenced ecocentric ideas like Earth Jurisprudence, Rights of the Mother Earth and Rights of Nature. Solon (2018) in 'Rights of the Mother Earth' talks about the indigenous peoples, particularly the Andean region of South America and their concern for nature. Indigenous peoples, he says, have a 'deep respect for nature' and this reflects in almost all their concerns, particularly related to livelihood, social organisation and spirituality.…”

Anthropocentric mode of consciousness has disturbed the internal cohesion and inter-relatedness of the natural world and is leading the world towards environmental devastation. Climate change is one of the biggest threats to humanity and is the face of this crisis. In view of this, the paper argues that we should make a shift towards ecocentric ways of thinking which look at nature in holistic terms and recognise the intrinsic value and rights of all the constituents of nature—rivers, mountains, plants and animals including human beings. Human existence is possible only when different constituents of nature interact with each other in a positive way. The paper argues that ecocentric awareness should be embedded in human governance system, law, education, culture and ethics, to save the world from environmental devastation.

“…Concerning developing countries, scholars have stressed the importance of claiming effective state sovereignty and rejecting unfair climate agreements as a rejection of Western neo-imperialist "green" projects which do not satisfy the basic requirements of climate justiceconsidering, for example, the disproportion of historic GHG emissions and the uneven distribution of financial and administrative capabilities across developing and developed states (Eckersley 2004, 232), as explicitly stated at the Cochabamba World People's Conference on Climate Change in 2010. In this respect, the discourse over the "green" potential of sovereignty intercepts the content of numerous de-globalization or alterglobalization movements over the last four decades, especially comprising claims for "food sovereignty" (Tramel 2018;Guerrero 2018;Ajl 2021;Liddell -Kington -McKinley 2022) and "clean energy sovereignty" (Menotti 2007) in movements such as La Via Campesina. This hints at the possible existence of a Global North-Global South convergence on the environmental and anti-neoliberal potential of states and sovereignty.…”

This paper examines the relationship between climate movements and states in climate governance, suggesting that movements may improve their political output by adopting a sovereignty-based, democratic framing of their agenda. The ambivalent attitude of climate movements and Green Deal supporters concerning the desired role of states is reconstructed. Moreover, a multidisciplinary review of the literature supporting a "return of the state" in climate politics is offered. Drawing on the critical literature on neoliberal environmentalism and the role of states within globalization, as well as considering issues such as equality, accountability, and scale of the transition process, this paper advocates for a non-nationalistic, democratic understanding of sovereignty as crucial for an efficient and fair green transition. It particularly emphasizes the need to revive the distinction between public interest and private gain and provide a bridge between subaltern agendas and climate movements' goals in order to successfully envision a post-neoliberal climate governance model.

“…Social and environmental problems are interrelated, since they are both caused by historical legacies of domination and social hierarchy. Thus, to address the root causes of the present crisis, it is crucial to link the fight for social justice to the fight against environmental destruction, resulting in one combined socio-ecological struggle (Tokar, 2019;Grzybowski, 2019;Le Grange, 2019;Guerrero, 2018).…”
