It is urgent in science and society to address climate change other sustainability challenges such as biodiversity loss, deforestation, depletion of marine fish stocks, global ill-health, land degradation, use water scarcity. Sustainability (SS) an attempt bridge the natural social sciences for seeking creative solutions these complex challenges. In this article, we propose a research agenda that advances methodological theoretical understanding what SS can be, how it be pursued contribute....
Forest plantations or so-called carbon sinks have played a critical role in the climate change negotiations and constitute central element scheme to limit atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations set out by Kyoto Protocol. This paper examines dominant discursive framings of forest plantation projects regime. A proposition is that these represent microcosm competing overlapping discourses are mirrored debates global environmental governance. While win-win discourse ecological modernization...
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,...
‘Together now!’ was the slogan used in invitation to Marrakesh Partnership for Global Climate Action (GCA), an initiative launched on second day of 22nd Conference Parties (C...
The role and design of global expert organizations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) or Platform Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES) needs rethinking. Acknowledging that a one-size-fits-all model does not exist, we suggest reflexive turn implies treating governance expertise matter political contestation.
In this paper, we advance discourse analysis to interpret how the state and direction of climate governance is imagined or interpreted by multitude actors present at UN conferences. We approach annual Conferences Parties (COP) Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as active political sites that project ideas, assumptions standards for conduct global politics. This paper examines what extent discourses green governmentality, ecological modernization civic environmentalism identified...
This paper examines the tight coupling between European climate science and policy. Drawing upon analytical idiom of co-production it how knowledge-making practices are incorporated into policy-making, more importantly, EU policy has influenced funding, making interpretation useful research. The identifies a tension critical/reflexive ambition built idiom, utilitarian term. Whereas former sets out to expose interrogate ontological assumptions underpinning public policy, latter seeks be by...
This article explores how climate governance is accomplished in practical terms. To that end we develop an 'analytics of carbon accounting' draws attention to the calculative practices turn stocks and flows into objects governance. Carbon accounting as a rationality government primarily concerned with ways which can be measured, quantified, demarcated statistically aggregated; but concept also alludes questions about (political) accountability relation emissions greenhouse gases. The paper...
The Anthropocene is described as a dangerous and unpredictable era in which fossil-fueled ways of life undermine the planetary systems on human societies depend. It speaks new world globalized manufactured risks where neither security nor environment can be interpreted or acted upon traditional ways. In this paper we examine how debates unfold global politics they challenge core assumptions International Relations. Through structured analysis 52 peer-reviewed journal articles, identify three...
Today many scholars seem to agree that citizens should be involved in expert deliberations on science and technology issues. This interest public deliberation has gained attraction practical settings, especially the European Union, holds promise of more legitimate governance technology. In this article, authors draw Commission’s (EC) report ‘‘Taking Knowledge Society Seriously’’ ask how these efforts ‘‘democratize’’ scientific expertise really are. While borrows from deliberative democrats’...
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a prominent example of the contemporary turn towards more hybrid modes global environmental governance. It epitomizes trend away from hierarchical state regulation softer forms steering along public-private frontier. In this article we analyze legitimacy novel governance arrangement. While approach input as procedural ideal that guarantees actors affected by CDM project voice in design and implementation, relate output to effectiveness or problem...
This article examines the role UNFCCC plays in a polycentric climate regime complex. Through an extended questionnaire survey at UN Climate Conferences Warsaw (2013), Lima (2014) and Paris (2015), we study what government delegates non-state observers see as main purpose of summitry their roles therein. Only minority these actors attend to actively influence outcome intergovernmental negotiation process. Instead, most come meetings network, build interpersonal relationships, learn from each...
This paper draws upon the recent carbon market turmoil to understand how private realm is imagined in global climate governance. Instead of asking which entities (eg, public or authorities) govern economy, we draw attention procedures caps on emissions, techniques verification, performance standards) by markets are made thinkable and governable as administrative domains. When focusing these ‘calculative practices’, governance does not signify a retreat state. Rather, this argue that...
International Relations have increasingly projected an image of the world where territoriality has lost its organising force. The global movements people, information, capital and pollution are seen as signs increasing deterritorialisation. Climate change is one these issues ‘beyond borders’ that due to framing been established within international. This article investigation into political geography carbon cycle. We approach tension between representations climate space deterritorial on...
AbstractEfforts to predict the future habitability of Earth are examined in three interrelated IGBP and IHDP projects: Global Change Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE), Land Use Cover (LUCC), Project (GLP). Drawing upon project documentation research plans from 1986 2012, 10 interviews with researchers involved design implementation, we trace how these projects have represented problem global change modelling ecosystem land-use dynamics. The imagining was recalibrated as participants brought more...
