Abstract
We examined the role of anti-extractivism as environmental peacebuilding through a conflict transformation framework. Environmental peacebuilding aims to foster peace through addressing environmental issues to remedy root causes of conflict; such efforts must further account for and respond to the changing climate. To this end, we explored how community-level movements encounter structural constraints, oppressions, or opportunities. Rather than relying on existing structures as a means to resolve conflict, we suggest that environmental conflict transformation presents an opportunity to foster climate resilient peace responding to differing needs of various groups, extending beyond the absence of war, and responding to the realities of climate change. We conducted case studies with the organizations Casa Pueblo in Puerto Rico and Movimento Bem Viver in Brazil to explore how conflict transformation helps shift environmental peacebuilding toward both being able to respond to destructive patterns and to achieve a more peaceful future through a process of change. We argue that the act of negating extractivism is a positive action toward transformation for peace. We thus contribute theoretical and empirical insight to the study of environmental peacebuilding, broadening ongoing discussions on building climate resilient peace that is beneficial to both humans and the environment.
The post Transforming environmental peacebuilding: addressing extractivism in building climate resilient peace first appeared on Ecology & Society.
我们通过冲突转化框架研究了反采掘作为环境和平建设的作用。环境和平建设旨在通过解决环境问题来消除冲突根源，从而促进和平；这种努力必须进一步考虑并应对不断变化的气候。为此，我们探讨了社区一级的运动如何遇到结构性限制、压迫或机遇。我们认为，与其依赖现有结构作为解决冲突的手段，不如利用环境冲突转化提供的机会，促进具有气候复原力的和平，满足不同群体的不同需求，超越没有战争的范畴，应对气候变化的现实。我们对波多黎各的 Casa Pueblo 组织和巴西的 Movimento Bem Viver 组织进行了案例研究，探讨冲突转化如何帮助环境和平建设转向既能应对破坏性模式，又能通过变革进程实现更加和平的未来。我们认为，否定采掘主义的行为是实现和平转型的积极行动。因此，我们为环境和平建设研究贡献了理论和实证见解，拓宽了当前关于建设对人类和环境都有益的、具有气候复原力的和平的讨论。
期刊介绍：
Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days.
We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal''s main page.
The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
