npj Urban Sustainability - If a swift could fight for their existence with words: nonhuman interests and politics

Broadening the debate on nature-based solutions and biodiversity net gain to cover non-biological components and nonhuman interests would help to make human-built infrastructure less detrimental to nonhuman beings.

Broader exposure to arguments regarding nature’s representation and agency, particularly those rooted in non-Western and non-anthropocentric worldviews and value systems, might increase the opportunities to include them in political debates.

Although the debate was initiated by an activist-conservationist @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social who figuratively gave voice to #swifts, when confronted with formal politics, the questions of representation and agency of swifts moved to the background.

Nonhuman interests and politics
We analysed the debate on mandating #swiftbricks in the UK through the lens of #multispecies justice: #TheFeatherSpeech by @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social, the Government's response, and the parliamentary debate. Debate dominated by human perspectives on sharing space

New paper on #degrowth, #cities and #nature responds to the critique of #neoliberal governance of urban green spaces by suggesting on how to govern them in a socially just and environmentally conscious way. Calls for an emancipatory, intersectional and relational approach.
doi.org/10.1016/j.ci...

Reflecting the neoliberal model's framing of the world as economic relationships, the paper discusses urban greening in terms of production and consumption, supplemented by an overview of what this means for human–non-human relationships.
