Dear all, The Taskforce on Accountability in Global Environmental Governance is inviting panelists attending the Earth Systems Governance Conference in Utrecht 2018, 5-8 November to present their work on the panel "Accountability in Extractive Industries: Intersections in a Complex World.” Please see the panel description below. If you are interested in participating, send an email with a paper abstract of no more than 400 words to susan.p...@sydney.edu.au<mailto:susan.p...@sydney.edu.au> by March 14.
Accountability in Extractive Industries: Intersections in a Complex World This panel will bring together scholars investigating issues of accountability, transparency, democracy, legitimacy, and responsibility in extractive industries (oil, gas, metal mining, forestry, rare earths commodities, etc.). The panel examines the new politics of “environmentalism” and anti-extractivism in global environmental governance. We are interested in exploring the current and changing rules, norms and institutional arrangements governing the intersection of extractivism, environmentalism and the developmental state. This is urgent in the case of fossil fuel extraction in particular, given the challenge of maintaining global temperatures within 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels. This panel examines all aspects of accountability in extractive industries, changing technologies that open up further opportunities in the extractive frontier, emerging actors, coalitions, different modes of citizen engagement with extractives, changing demands and responses to affected populations and the environment. We welcome conceptual, theoretical and empirical contributions covering all actors seeking to govern extractive industries. The Task Force is also planning a broader pre conference workshop “Stocktaking of Accountability in Global Environmental Governance." More details to follow.
