Allocating the Earth

Holland, Breena

“…In her book Allocating the Earth as well as in earlier work, Breena Holland (2008Holland ( , 2014 argues that the role of the environment in making capabilities possible is so important and central that we should conceptualize environmental ecological functioning (that is, the ecosystem services that the environment offers to human beings) as a meta-capability that underlies all other capabilities. As Holland puts it, "the environment's ecological functioning is a meta-capability in the sense that it is a precondition of all the capabilities that Nussbaum defines as necessary for living a good human life" (2014,112).…”

“…Over time, the capabilities approach was taken up by many other scholars (Holland, 2014;Robeyns, 2017), who have employed it to conceptualize sustainable development (Lessmann and Rauschmayer, 2013;Voget-Kleschin, 2013) or to explore the contribution of ecosystem services to human well-being (Polishchuk and Rauschmayer, 2012;Sangha et al, 2015). Some have suggested employing the capabilities concept as an end to environmental justice endeavors (Schlosberg, 2007;Martin, 2017); others have further theorized the initial focus of the capabilities approach on human well-being (Edwards et al, 2016).…”

“…Let me give one example to illustrate the critique. In her book Allocating the Earth as well as in earlier work, Breena Holland (2008Holland ( , 2014 argues that the role of the environment in making capabilities possible is so important and central that we should conceptualize environmental ecological functioning (that is, the ecosystem services that the environment offers to human beings) as a meta-capability that underlies all other capabilities.
