Integrated Landscape Approaches: A Pathway Towards Just Sustainable Development?
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2026
Landscape approaches mobilize stakeholders across sectors and scales to negotiate development-conservation trade-offs and land-use allocation. Building on the concept of earth system justice, we examine how efforts to operationalize such approaches in Ghana, Zambia and Indonesia advance landscape justice. We observed contributions to procedural, recognitional and intergenerational justice, while interspecies justice remains overlooked. Yet, power asymmetries, exclusionary practices and institutional constraints hinder progress towards intragenerational and substantive-distributive, corrective, restorative and transformative justice. In contexts lacking commitment to transformative change, trade-offs are inevitable. Pursuing incremental change rather than 'perfect' justice may represent a second-best but more realistic pathway towards just landscape governance.
