“…Our definition of climate apartheid is also anchored in an emerging set of scholars who have also begun to develop "climate apartheid" as a critical framework. Dawson (2017) and Brisman et al (2018a) discuss climate apartheid in reference to the treatment of climate migrants and refugees: specifically, the normalization of their condition, their neoliberalized exploitation, and the probability of a climate-induced global divide. Like us, Dawson (2017: 194) evokes the word precarious in relation to climate migrants when he writes:…”

“…Finally, narratives of climate apocalypse, fear, and risk are ushering in a deeply problematic landscape of segregation, securitization, and redefinition of citizenship (Chaturvedi and Doyle, 2015;Davoudi, 2014). The issues of citizenship and migration in the era of climate change bring about questions of mobility and relocation (Adger et al, 2015;Thornton et al, 2019), refugee status and asylum (Berchin et al, 2017;Berglund, 2019), and increasing antiimmigration sentiment and militarization of borders (Dawson, 2017;Gupta, 2009;Turhan and Armiero, 2019). This means that citizenship and climate apartheid are linked through formal state recognition (or denial) of a set of rights and freedoms, especially as they relate to mobility and inclusion.…”

“…This means that citizenship and climate apartheid are linked through formal state recognition (or denial) of a set of rights and freedoms, especially as they relate to mobility and inclusion. As previously mentioned, many climate migrants/refugees are encountering increasingly nationalistic attitudes as environmental and climate stressors worsen (Brisman et al, 2018a(Brisman et al, , 2018bDawson, 2017). Several scholars also explored the potential for segregation, increased inequality, and criminalization of climate migrants (Chaturvedi and Doyle, 2015;Faist, 2018;Miller, 2017), applying the term climate apartheid to refer to the potential threat of anti-immigration sentiment to segregate global populations in the era of climate change.…”

“…In recent years, the term has been used provocatively by activists and aid organizations to call attention to the uneven causes and impacts of the climate crisis with respect to race, class, and other socio-political conditions (see opening quote). Additionally, some scholars have used the term climate apartheid to highlight the racialized nature of climate policies and practices (Tuana, 2019), the vulnerable situation of climate displaced persons and refugees (Dawson, 2017), and the weak political responses to a climate crisis that is largely affecting poorer communities of the global South (Bond, 2016). This paper will explore the concept of climate apartheid, including providing a working definition, the material evidence for its use, and theoretical underpinnings to explain its existence.…”

While the uneven causes and impacts of climate change are widely known, it is also becoming evident that many elements of the response to the climate crisis are also reinforcing discrimination, segregation, and displacement among marginalized peoples. This is entrenching a system of climate apartheid, one that is evidenced by uneven vulnerabilities to the climate crisis, as well as inequitable implementation of climate-oriented infrastructures, policies, and programs. These efforts often secure privileged populations while harming, excluding, and criminalizing populations whose lives have been made precarious by climate change. Like previous incarnations of state-sponsored “separateness,” climate apartheid is rooted in processes of colonization, racial capitalism, and hetero-patriarchy that render some populations expendable. In this paper, we show how these interlocking historical structures of oppression facilitate a response to climate change that is systematically promoting spatial, socio-economic, and ecological segregation in many mainstream attempts to safeguard economic and socio-political structures amidst global ecological catastrophe. We then offer frameworks and interventions intended to introduce meaningful pathways forward for climate justice that seek to render all life indispensable.

“…The soils deplete, the seas recede, the climate alters, the gyre widens: a world on fire". Desertification, ocean acidification, ozone depletion, polar melt, wildfires and extreme storms are the symptoms of the exploitation of natural resources and human labour, which threaten the cycle of the planet upon which life depends (Dawson, 2017;Foster et al, 2010). Lawrence and Laybourn-Langton (2021) argue that we live in an age of environmental breakdown.…”

Architectural pedagogy for the Anthropocene: theory, critique and typological urbanism

PurposeThe aim of this article is to develop an architectural pedagogy for the Anthropocene. The author reflect on a project within a postgraduate architectural theory module to address the following questions: How can architectural pedagogy articulate critical modes of production that contribute to quality education in the time of the Anthropocene? What are the ideas, values and practices needed?Design/methodology/approachThe method employed is close reading of texts focussed on three areas: critical theory and pedagogy, political theory and the Anthropocene, and architectural theory and typological urbanism. These theoretical narratives are placed in dialogue with a reflection on a design research pedagogical project. The theoretical narratives and design research project seek to articulate the multidimensionality of critical education. The methodology enacted in the paper performs the pedagogy of the classroom.FindingsThe study yields compelling conclusions regarding the potential for rethinking the idea of typology under the pressure of the Anthropocene and of critical pedagogy combined with design research to take positions on urgent political and social matters. The author concludes with a toolkit of concepts, values and knowledge practices.Originality/valueAt a time when disciplines tend towards discrete specialisation, while the need for knowledge production is ever more transdisciplinary, this paper develops inventive techniques and conceptual frameworks for supporting approaches where different fields and ideas make contact as a collective task in the era of the Anthropocene. It updates theories of typology to address contemporary pressures.

Disentangling the US military's climate change paradox: An institutional approach

Studies estimate that the US military it is a bigger polluter than 140 individual countries, having emitted hundreds of millions of tons of greenhouse gases in the twenty‐first century. Despite this, the military is also one of the organizations most affected by climate change, given its global infrastructural reach, and one that is positioning itself to grapple with the social and political upheavals resulting from the climate crisis. Thus, paradoxically, despite its role as a major driver of ecological degradation, the military is one of the few influential institutions in the US that has demonstrated a willingness to grapple with the effects of climate change. In this paper we explore these two sides of the relationship between the military and climate change. Combining perspectives from the military and environmental sociology literature, we review the military's role as a polluter as well as a stakeholder. We examine the military's attempts to reconcile those two approaches through the adoption of a philosophy of “winners and losers” of climate change, highlighting the limits and possibilities of this approach. To make sense of the military's response, we review the conflicting institutional logics guiding the Pentagon's efforts. We conclude by suggesting that policymakers resolve these tensions through a strategic retreat from its globe‐spanning presence.
