Rejecting Green Colonial Solutions: Towards Decolonial Solidarity with Mother Earth’s Revolt

Abstract

We reframe climate crises as Mother Earth’s fevers and revolts against an anthropocentric, patriarchal, and racial colonial order of domination and extraction by undertaking a decolonial feminist, anti-capitalist complexity science, and Indigenous re-examination of how the scientific enterprise engages with climate politics. As the patriarchal state-centric technocracy and imperial mode of living that created the crisis perpetuates itself through “green” climate-disaster capitalism, we challenge “green” techno-scientific solution-driven governance and analyze climate upheavals as a portal for decolonial solidarity with Earth’s revolt – an alignment with the multispecies struggle for the liberation of all human and nonhuman relatives, waters, and lands.
