Short Abstract:

This panel addresses new forms of Socio-Environmental injustice co-produced through climate change mitigation and adaptation. We ask what are the various forms of Socio-Environmental Justice that emerge in tandem with "climate action"? How do we understand this with histories of colonialisms?

Long Abstract:

As part of the worldwide actions against anthropogenic climate change, global economic and socio-environmental rearrangements for more than a decade now bring about new forms of unequal environmental relationships. Least developed countries, Island nations, countries in the global south particularly in Africa, Asia, and South America, indigenous people around the world, and low-income, lower class, and caste communities experience new forms of environmental and climate injustice. This is experienced as environmental colonialism (Agarwal and Narain 2012) where the developing countries are blamed for climate change to Climate Coloniality (Sultana 2022) where uneven and inequitable impacts of climate change are facilitated through global racial capitalism, colonial dispossessions (Ghosh 2021), and climate debts. This panel addresses these new forms of Socio-Environmental injustice co-produced through climate change mitigation and adaptation. The panel asks what are the various forms of emerging Social and Environmental Justice issues that emerge in tandem with "climate action"? How can we understand these new relations and environmental re-arrangements that co-occur with colonial legacies? How do we re-think social and Environmental Justice after Climate Change? We invite papers that explore this theme but are not limited to the following specific topics.
