💡 Overall, this diverse collection engages with work on global environmental governance, environmental futures and world order in the Anthropocene. Perhaps of interest to @matpaterson.bsky.social @jhasselbalch.bsky.social @jacquelinebest.bsky.social @corneliab.bsky.social @kaiheron.bsky.social ...

The Forum article by @elanawilsonrowe.bsky.social on the vision of an ice-free, or “blue”, Arctic Ocean concludes the special issue. This anticipated future has, as the author argues, set in motion various attempts at (re)ordering the region.

Blue Visions: Ordering a Changing Arctic Ocean

Abstract. This essay explores how the prospect of a “blue” Arctic Ocean—no longer covered continuously with sea ice—has shaped, supported, and challenged different visions for and prospective ways of ...

Nanang I. Kurniawan, Poppy S. Winanti & Devy D. Cahyati take the case of the Indonesian nickel sector to show how the vision of decarbonisation triggers widely overlooked dynamics of recarbonisation. The extractivist logic remains in place – and fossil fuel dependence high.

Recarbonization Through Decarbonization: Nickel Extraction and the Deepening of Fossil Fuel Dependence in Indonesia

Abstract. A global green vision requires a low-carbon shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. This transition, however, relies on significant material and energy inputs, exacerbating mineral extr...

This pattern resurfaces in the article by Bruna Bosi-Moreira on China’s vision of transition, which embraces green growth and technological innovation for decarbonisation. The challenge to the existing world order is thus again relatively moderate.

A Green World Order with Chinese Characteristics: Implications for Global Climate Cooperation

Abstract. This article examines how China’s vision of a green world order affects global climate cooperation. It argues that China’s global green vision is technology driven, combining green industria...

Esther Wahabu explores how the REDD+ vision, which shall promote sustainable forest management and use, has adverse effects on Ghana’s cocoa forests. REDD+ stabilises, rather than undermines, a world order grounded in extractivism and dispossession.

REDD+ and Extractivism: Navigating Sustainability in Ghana’s Cocoa Landscapes

Cristina Espinosa & @fabriciorodriguez.bsky.social discuss the Ecuadorian vision of Rights of Nature (RoN). It poses a strong challenge to the extractivist capitalist order, but remains a hybrid instrument, embedded as it is in mainstream liberal institutions.

The team led by Cristina Y. A. Inoue zooms in on the vision of “Amazonia center of the world”. Their article shows how stories of socioenvironmentalism envisage many worlds that co-exist and are always in the making. In other words, world order is not set in stone.

@justinalger.bsky.social & Peter Dauvergne examine “Protected Earth” as an emergent conservation vision. It challenges the established order of biodiversity governance although it may also lead to forms of conservation that harm certain groups (e.g., Indigenous communities).

Bruna & I introduce the collection by developing the notion of “global green visions”. We argue that these visions of sustainability are politically contentious for an underacknowledged reason: they offer criticisms of the existing world order and delineate alternative orders.

@marenhofius.bsky.social & I open the collection with a framing paper that draws on a diverse body of work in IR, STS and beyond. We argue that boundary work is pervasive in global politics, shaping and structuring the possibilities of cooperation among actors.

Auch beachtlich: Wer am lautesten für "Freiheit" (für wen eigentlich?) und "Technologieoffenheit" wirbt, hat oft keine Probleme, Freiheit und Offenheit in der Sprache – ja – mit Verboten einzuschränken. Auch eine offene Gesellschaft kommt nicht ohne Verbote aus. Aber ehrlich sollte man dabei sein.

Together with Bruna Bosi-Moreira, I have contributed a chapter on green growth and degrowth futures, asking – in line with the volume theme – what understandings of world order are behind these different types of futures. And stay tuned as a related project by us is nearing completion. 💡
