ISA Panel on linking climate change and biodiversity

[Michele Merrill Betsill]

Dear all,  

 

Anouk Fransen, Stacy VanDeveer, Harriet Bulkeley and I are organizing a panel proposal for ISA on the politics of linking climate change and biodiversity governance and are looking for 1 or 2 additional papers. We already have two papers on the role of technology in these emerging climate/biodiversity spaces and one on the biodiversification of climate change/climatization of biodiversity. 

 

Please see the draft abstract below. If interested, send your abstract of up to 200 words to a.fr...@uu.nl no later than May 26^th, 2023. 

 

Thanks,

Michele (on behalf of Anouk, Harriet and Stacy)

Unfolding Politics at the Climate-Biodiversity Frontier  

 

Growing recognition of the need to address climate change and biodiversity loss in conjunction is resulting in a range of actors and forms of expertise jostling for attention in these increasingly intermingled policy arenas. This has led some scholars to think of these arenas as a climate-biodiversity frontier, involving conflict and contestation over values and interests, and therefore constantly evolving. Especially with particular tech-enabled forms of expertise (i.e. Nature/Climate Tech) gaining prominence and shaping solutions to the twin challenges of climate and biodiversity, with undetermined, dynamic and potential radical implications for how governing nature is accomplished, work is needed to interrogate their politics. The panel welcomes abstracts concerning the politics along the climate-biodiversity frontier, engaging with and beyond these tech-enabled spaces. We welcome papers that consider these issues both conceptually and empirically.
