Despite three decades of political efforts and a wealth research on the causes catastrophic impacts climate change, global carbon dioxide emissions have continued to rise are 60% higher today than they were in 1990. Exploring this through nine thematic lenses—covering issues governance, fossil fuel industry, geopolitics, economics, mitigation modeling, energy systems, inequity, lifestyles, social imaginaries—draws out multifaceted reasons for our collective failure bend curve. However,...
This paper explores the socio-technical imaginaries surrounding infrastructures of coal mining and combustion in Poland. Contemporary policy makers Poland mobilise a national imaginary inherited from communist times – encapsulated slogan 'Poland stands on coal' that fuses extraction with fate nation. provides support for futures, even face contradictory evidence domestic resource depletion, poor regional air quality, global climate change. To examine this process, brings research into...
This paper seeks to understand how dominant high-carbon imaginaries, such as those associated with coal, can be disassembled from within. Although resistance have a disruptive potential threaten the prevailing energy narrative, in certain contexts, complete replacement of imaginary an alternative one may not always feasible or preferable. The shows thinking about disassembly within achieved by bringing interpretative envelope sociotechnical imaginaries (STI) into productive conversation...
Abstract The concept of a ‘nexus’ across issues regarding the management natural resources has gained increasing academic attention in recent years, but there is still relatively limited research on application nexus approach for evaluating policies. This study analyses coherence among main goals five policy areas (water, energy, food, land, and climate) Sweden, drawing upon desk review, expert assessment, interaction with stakeholders. objective to enhance understanding opportunities...
With an expected increase in urbanisation and low-carbon transition efforts, the planning of cities is becoming more challenging, societies need to rethink how urban infrastructures will be constructed future. There a growing recognition that use space below city significantly enhanced. However, once transformed, underground becomes permanent feature, major metropolitan areas worldwide are gradually acknowledging subsurface as valuable, non-renewable resource, emphasising necessity for...
Non-state actors are increasingly participating in international climate diplomacy. The tactics employed by diverse civil society agents to influence policymaking radicalizing through the adoption of more confrontational language. Activist groups have been seeking opportunities policymakers regarding rules related transparency, public participation and accountability Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). By scrutinizing efforts three environmental NGOs (ENGOs) – Climate Action...
To better understand the recent Polish shale gas "frenzy", it is pertinent to study (un)conventional natural in broader context of Poland as a post-communist country that has struggled achieve meaningful transformation its coal-dominated energy system. By scrutinising official documents issued by government institutions between 1990 and 2017, we disclose specific fractures how role scope system have been envisioned national policies strategies. We demonstrate occur at intersection two...
The Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is often cited as an exemplar of new, hybrid forms global environmental governance operating at the public–private interface. Practically, enacting this arrangement involves a wide range non-state actors. This broad involvement here assumed to mark shift towards more polycentric and networked modes in which agents collaborate ‘stakeholders’ process consensual rule-setting implementation. Using post-political critique, depoliticising...
This paper focuses on the speculative character of knowledge and action in relation to subterranean resources, drawing curtailed histories shale gas development Poland UK. It adopts a political-economic orientation towards speculation rather than narrowly financial one, seeking understand 'politics possibility' associated with resources. Specifically, we build work political geography as form productive 'resonance' replicating across epistemic, economic, domains. Thinking resonance –...
Abstract Poland has been estimated to possess large volumes of technically recoverable shale gas resources, which raised national hopes for increasing energy security and building export capacity. In this paper, we aim examine political claims that could achieve natural self-sufficiency even become a exporter by harnessing domestic potential. We do so relying on well-by-well production experience from the Barnett Shale in USA explore what scope extraction, terms number wells, would likely be...
The forthcoming energy transition driven by the need to reduce CO 2 emissions requires large amounts of critical elements construct renewable devices such as car batteries, wind turbines and solar panels. For many Li, Co, REEs Ti, production sources are located in countries with poor social environmental standards, prone political destabilization military conflicts, or vulnerable strained relationships consumer countries. Lately, volatile geopolitical context has further demonstrated high...
The article provides insight into the contemporary international bioenergy debate and scrutinizes how idea of biofuel production as a win-win-win solution to energy insecurity, climate change, agricultural stagnation came being, what discursive forces bind such conceptualization, where dislocations arise. Based on critical assumptions discourse theory developed by Laclau Mouffe, analysis explores assessments, reports, policy papers, other central documents from three influential...
