The issue includes five contributions by Oliver Hunt, Joachim Tilsted, Julia Wagner, Audrey Irvine-Broque, Kirstine Lund Christiansen, and Vanessa Koh on diverse topics: carbon markets, mangrove conservation, agri-tech, hydrogen economies, and urban housing.

This special issue focuses on investments in climate transitions and how private climate finance functions as a socioecological fix, stabilising capital accumulation and alleviating some harms while reproducing or displacing others.

In our first special issue on 'sustainability capitalism', W. Nathan Green and I conceptualise how sustainability principles are being subsumed within capitalist logics, and to what contradictory social-ecological effects.

Precisely! That didn't seem to occur to them. "Damn journalists..."

I was at a conference where someone working in carbon offsets begrudgingly referred to it as the 'guardianization' of the industry 😅

Thanks, Charlie!

I approach land as a web of social relationships that entangle peasant farmers, state officials, civil society groups, and plantation capitalists. The book addresses how and why ties to land are socialized in different orientations, particularly for capital versus the peasantry.

The book examines the politically contested development of Chinese and Vietnamese pulpwood and rubber plantations on the lands of Indigenous Brou people in Southern Laos. It is based on in-depth ethnographic research during a land rush facilitated by the Lao government.
