“…Repair, on this expanded scale, redresses some of the harms of uneven development and produces an alternative geography structured by relations of care and mutual flourishing. Literature on "reparations ecology" has grappled with the forebears and afterlives of socioecological harms and thefts (Cadieux et al 2019;Patel and Moore 2017), while Perry's (2020) proposal for a Global Climate Stabilization Fund aims to create a mechanism for the repayment of climate and other environmental debts in ways that deliver "climate reparations" (see also T a ıw o and Cibralic 2020).…”

Financing Reparative Climate Infrastructures: Capital Switching, Repair, and Decommodification

Despite geographical critiques of the financialisation of climate governance, the realities of deteriorating environmental conditions, entrenched market logics, and the concentration of capital in the hands of financiers demand new strategies to contend with climate finance. We envision routes to better futures by surveying “financialised” responses to climate catastrophe that might be harnessed towards more reparative and decommodified ends. We combine ideas of “repair” and “capital switching” to evaluate financial tools for “reparative climate infrastructures” in five cases centred on energy, land, and water in the United States, Australia, Indonesia, and Brazil. Through these cases, we identify three key themes—governance, scale, and the state—that illuminate the socioecological, material, and political dimensions of reparative capital switching. The cases are each hopeful and cautionary. Together they offer a window into the contested terrain of climate finance in the present and highlight the need for critical attention to its strategic possibilities.

“…These are proposed along various pathways – such as agroecology, food sovereignty, and various anti-capitalist systems to resist capital’s spatial and socioecological fixes and profit-driven logics of ecological destruction (Escobar, 2017; Moore and Patel, 2017). Confronting necessary structural and systemic changes is tempered with bottom-up strategies, such as mutual aid, solidarity networks, and shared governance to sustain lives and livelihoods (Cadieux et al, 2019; Nelson, 2020; Springer, 2020). Together, these highlight the interconnections and interdependencies of individuals and systems in survival beyond the capitalist framework, while cautioning the limitations of seeking singular solutions.…”

Political ecology II: Conjunctures, crises, and critical publics

Political ecologists focus on power relations across scales to develop assessments of systems that produce and maintain crises, such as the overlapping conjunctural crises of the coronavirus pandemic and climate breakdown. Such analyses clarify processual and interconnecting factors, exposing the contours of uneven differentiations and coproductions, while offering possible alternative futures. This report engages recent scholarship wherein conjunctural analysis raises issues for how we understand socionatural processes and outcomes, lessons learned, and the exigencies of critical publics in academia and beyond.

“…For structural transformation narratives, the fundamental problem is that growth in contemporary economies is dependent on fossil capital (Mitchell 2011) and plantation production (Wolford 2020), producing wealth that is maldistributed across classes, regions and economies (Hickel and Kallis 2020). The solution is not to tinker at the margins, temporarily easing the crises of capitalism through technological, market or state welfare fixes, but to transform the relations of production that generate climate change in the first place, through reparation, redistribution and decolonisation (Watts 2004;Cadieux et al 2019;Ajl 2020). This is a more radical vision of a 'green new deal' that restructures economies in favour of a low-carbon future under people's control (Ajl 2021;Mastini, Kallis, and Hickel 2021;Selwyn 2021).…”

This essay introduces and invites contributions to a new Journal of Peasant Studies Forum on 'climate change and critical agrarian studies'. Climate change is inextricably entwined with contemporary capitalism, but how the relationship between capitalism and climate change plays out in the rural world requires deeper analysis. In particular, the way agrarian struggles connect with the huge challenge of climate change is a vital focus for both thinking and action. In this essay, we make the connections between climate change and critical agrarian studies and identify competing, although overlapping, narratives. These narratives frame climate change debates and the way that the dynamics of climate change shape and are shaped by the rural world, whether through state policies, international governance, corporate influence, or agrarian struggles. We use a simple framework to examine different logics and strategies for anti-capitalist struggles that might connect climate change and agrarian mobilisations. We conclude with some overall reflections and suggestions for broad, guiding questions for future inquiry as part of the JPS Forum.
