Abstract

Abstract There has been an unprecedented inclusion of Indigenous peoples in environmental governance instruments like free, prior, and informed consent; reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) projects; climate adaptation initiatives; and environmental impact assessment. We draw on theories of participatory governance to show how locally implemented processes have been shaped by their interactions with invited, closed, and indigenous-led spaces at multiple scales. Empirically, our article is based on field research in Latin America, semistructured interviews, and a systematic literature review. We find four main barriers that have (re-)produced environmental injustices in environmental governance: first, a lack of influence over the institutional design of governance instruments; second, the exclusion of Indigenous peoples in the domestication of global instruments; third, policy incoherencies constraining the scope for decision-making; and fourth, weak cross-scale linkages between Indigenous-led spaces. This article helps to elucidate constraints of participatory spaces and identify leeway for transformation toward environmental justice.

原住民与多尺度环境治理:参与空间的开放与封闭
在自由、事先和知情同意等环境治理工具中,土著人民被前所未有地纳入;减少毁林和森林退化排放(REDD+)项目;气候适应举措;以及环境影响评估。我们利用参与式治理理论来展示地方实施的过程是如何通过与受邀、封闭和土著主导的空间在多个尺度上的相互作用而形成的。从经验上看,我们的文章是基于在拉丁美洲的实地调查、半结构化访谈和系统的文献综述。我们发现在环境治理中(重新)产生环境不公正的四个主要障碍:首先,对治理工具的制度设计缺乏影响力;第二,将土著人民排除在全球文书的驯化之外;第三,政策不连贯限制了决策的范围;第四,原住民主导空间之间的跨尺度联系薄弱。本文有助于阐明参与性空间的约束,并确定向环境正义转变的余地。
