I'll be at the Blue & Green Justice event in Paris today hosted by @frbiodiv.bsky.social & @cnrs.fr presenting the results of the Just Conservation project (2019-23) in which we reviewed 50 years of data on the role of Indigenous people for conservation: www.fondationbiodiversite.fr/en/evenement...

L'absence de solutions collectives face au changement climatique nous force dans des engrenages individualisants, amplifiants à la fois les émissions de gaz à effets de serre et les inégalités face au changement climatique.

In a nutshell, we argue that using decolonial theoy can help make sense of today's farming crisis in Europe. It is deeply rooted in the concentration of power and knowledge brought about by agricultural modernization and in its social-environmental consequences
