Thank you for your messages on biochar projects, the ETC map on geoengineering, and on
EJOLT (not EVOLT). EJOLT is a large European project supporting research on environmental conflicts, 2011-15, www.ejolt.org

EJOLT means Environmental Justice Organizations, Liabilities and Trade. We write reports, run online course, and we collect resource extraction conflicts and waste disposal conflicts around the world, we aim at an inventory of 2000 cases. We shall map them, in an thematic and country Atlas.  We draw on various sources for information, incuding activist groups.

Among the conflicts, we now realize, there are new geoengineering / climate engineering conflicts, at different scales. So, drawing on the ETC map and other inventories of climate engineering projects, we must add a few of such conflicts to our inventory. They are not so different from CDM (clean development mechanism) conflicts, BUT they are different nevertheless. For instance, conflicts on ocean fertilisation.

If anybody else (with training in studies on global environmental justice movements, political ecology...) wants to do a study of such conflicts, so much the better.

Typically, environmental groups are actors in such conflicts, alongside firms, governments, indigenous groups, unions sometimes, concerned scientists, ,etc.  jma
