This paper explores the entanglements between development, the environment and indigeneity. It explores how development in multiple guises physically, politically and imaginatively (re)shapes environments, what its more-than-human effects are, and how different parties experience and respond to such transformations.
Key themes include: the political-economic and discursive context for development; inequality; the politics of land and dispossession; property relations; ‘resourcification’; ‘the Anthropocene’; biodiversity loss; climate change; environmentalism and conservation; more-than-human/multispecies worlds; indigenous rights; resistance and collaboration; justice; energy ethics and politics; climate change mitigation.
