Abstract
This paper challenges Earth System Governance (ESG) scholars to rethink the concept of Planetary Justice (PJ) in the era of the Anthropocene so it is more attentive to non-Western perspectives and sensitive to the experiences of Indigenous peoples. We combine findings from a narrative review with those derived from academic collaborations with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band to propose the Indigenous principle of ‘justice as healing’ through ‘recognition’ as a crucial element in the emerging PJ framework. We argue that healing can be initiated by acknowledging colonialism as a driving force behind socio-environmental injustices, centering state accountability in environmental governance decision-making, and recognizing the value of restoring Indigenous knowledges and practices. Ultimately, we argue healing is the responsibility of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. ESG scholars have an important role to play in supporting healing and enacting recognition within and among Indigenous peoples through their engagements with Native communities.
