We conduct research to understand how historical and contemporary political and economic inequality both shape and are shaped by nature and by unequal global geographies of empire, development, and racial capitalism. This includes investigating how existing inequalities shape the unequal vulnerability to climate change, as well as the unequal distribution of risks and benefits of climate change adaptation and mitigation. Under this broad topic, we have expertise in a wide range of topics including environmental security, urban and agrarian environmental justice, waste, and climate change adaptation.
