As such, geographers, higher education institutions and geographical organisations arguably should take a greater lead in responding to this crisis. This raises concerns about how such responses fit into academics' ‘core’ job activities, especially given concern about escalating workloads. What mix of activities could or should constitute academic success? This article is based on a dialogue between five UK-based academic geographers spanning different academic career stages. Drawing on our personal and professional experiences, both in the United Kingdom and overseas, we present an edited version of an online dialogue that addresses three questions: (1) How do we define academic success in the context of the climate and environmental crisis? (2) Given the routine and, in some cases, escalating demands of our jobs, do we feel that we have the capacity to address whatever the appropriate measures of success may be? (3) Do we feel that the measures of success are appropriately valued by our colleagues and by modern university management procedures? Our collective reflections on the key points extracted from the dialogue will likely have resonance beyond the United Kingdom (and university) context. These points include: adjusting and adapting how we portray academic success for different audiences; contemplating broader definitions of academic success; considering where public engagement sits within the portfolio of academic responsibilities; deciding how to respond to multiple pressures; choosing how to prioritise different academic demands; and asking whether work to tackle the climate and environmental crisis is adequately valued. We provide some practical suggestions for redefining academic success that require consideration by the academic geographical community. Wider discussion and implementation should contribute to enhancing job satisfaction and career progression for individual geographers and strengthen academic geography as a discipline.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing so, hegemonic mainstream environmentalism (HME) fails to address its colonial, authoritarian, saviorist foundations, which continue to motivate much of environmentalism. But there are also ongoing challenges to this by the work of Indigenous, feminist, anti-racist, anti-casteist, anti/de/post-colonial thinkers and doers. In this work, we build upon such provocations, and through ethnographic stories of non-elite communities, envision an alternative to HME. We propose a temporary analytical frame that advocates for non-elite visions of environmentalism—non-elite and more-than-colonial environmentalisms (NEMCEs). We witness the labour and aspirations of non-elite communities (Indigenous and peasant) from Mato Grosso, Brazil, and Uttarakhand, India, as they pursue lives of defiance and dignity. Their stories reveal the unresolved contradictions at the heart of the capitalist, colonial and scientific worldview. Exploring the contentious identity positions of caste, class, indigeneity and gender, we examine land-use change and ecological governance with the A'uwe Indigenous community in the agrarian heartland of the Brazilian cerrado and with lower-caste agrarian families navigating the powerful manifestations of Hindu nationalism and neoliberal territorial management in the Indian Himalayas. These stories help us present a response to HME. They challenge its insidious reproduction of certain elite aspirations and institutions while claiming to support planetary visions of ecological well-being. Additionally, these moments of non-elite agency provide moments of hope.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disaster management discourse remains dominated by Western-centric, technocratic paradigms, reinforcing decisions that prioritise infrastructure development and decentralised governance. However, these top-down interventions often produce unintended consequences for vulnerable communities. The discourse surrounding climate change is couched in terms of an urgent crisis, thus further legitimising large-scale interventions while sidelining community-driven adaptation strategies. In response, local communities assert their own expertise through daily adaptation practices and traditional knowledge. This study highlights the need for a more inclusive approach to disaster governance; one that integrates diverse knowledge systems and empowers local actors. We argue that scientific and institutional frameworks should evolve to support alternative perspectives and sustainable, localised responses to climate-related disasters.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Southern Africa, a significant part of the alien flora was introduced for ornamental purposes. Some species have become invasive, with ecological and socio-economic impacts that can create conflicts between stakeholders, depending on their relationships with the species. This paper unpacks how the ornamental industry in Southern Africa operates as well as people's preferences for ornamental plants and practices to highlight links between the industry and plant invasions and to help address potential conflicts. Drawing on empirical data primarily collected in 2022/23 in Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe (and other Southern African countries), our results show that Southern Africa's ornamental industry is highly influenced by the global industry, especially South Africa. The sector provides ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ jobs to people in urban areas, especially middle-aged women from ethnic majorities. The sector's operation and gardening practices show expressions of the typical cultural hybridity of postcolonial states where hegemonic and subaltern practices coexist and mix. Alien plants and foreign styles often symbolise higher social status, but controversially, socially privileged groups are publicly leading shifts towards more geographically contextualised practices and native plants. We conclude by arguing that recognising the influences that historical processes have on the sector's operation and its links with alien plants is essential for a more ethically sound and fair stakeholder engagement in preventing and managing plant invasions from the ornamental industry in Southern Africa.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Himalayan ecosystems are under constant threat due to the high dependence of local communities on natural resources, illegal wildlife trade, extensive use of medicinal plants and infrastructural development. This study provides a framework for HCVs assessment in the high-altitude landscapes of Himalayan ecosystems. Demarcation of HCVs was carried out using six sub-categories: Species Diversity (HCV 1), Landscape Level Ecosystems (HCV 2), Threatened Ecosystems and Habitats (HCV 3), Ecosystem Services (HCV 4), Community Needs (HCV 5) and Cultural Values/Identity (HCV 6). We have used a weighted multi-model approach to identify the HCVs in three high-altitude landscapes, namely Changthang, Gangotri-Govind and Darma-Byans-Chaudans of the Indian Himalayan region. Species distribution model (SDM), fragstat models (FM), landscape change model (LCM), ecosystem loss model (ELM), ecotone demarcation model (EDM), soil loss model, forest fire susceptibility model and groundwater potential zone model have been used for assessing HCV 1 to 4. Household survey and participatory GIS have been used for assessing HCV 5 and 6. The final high-priority high conservation values areas (HPHCVAs) were successfully demarcated based on expert opinions, stakeholder consultations and Indigenous People and local community (IPLC) engagements from the identified 1–6 HCV layers in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. The study has identified 16 HPHCVAs in Changthang, 14 HPHCVAs in Gangotri-Govind and 9 HPHCVAs in the Darma-Byans-Chaudans landscape. These HPHCVAs represent areas within the landscapes that are critical for biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, community needs and cultural values. The identification and demarcation of these areas can guide conservation efforts and prioritise resource allocation for their protection and sustainable management. Steps should be taken for the conservation of HPHCVAs by engaging local stakeholders for future planning and management of HCVs.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Ethiopia, where these challenges are pronounced, addressing these issues requires a solid foundation of knowledge and positive attitudes, especially among young people. This study examines secondary school students' level of environmental knowledge and attitudes and the determinants related to deforestation and climate change in the Metekel Zone, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional survey was used for the study, and a total of 372 secondary school students selected through a multistage sampling technique from seven government secondary schools in the Metekel Zone were participants. Data were collected via standardised tests, questionnaires interviews and focus group discussions, and analysed via descriptive statistics, chi-square tests and binary logistic regression. The findings revealed that the knowledge levels and attitudes of secondary school students towards environmental issues related to deforestation and climate change were low. The results from the regression model revealed significant correlations between students' knowledge and attitudes, except for personal interest in environmental matters. A notable correlation comprises age, gender, residence, the educational level of the students' parents, the family income level, and the social environment, access to information, the students' grade levels and the students' participation in school-based environmental clubs. The study also identifies key barriers to students' environmental knowledge and attitudes, including curriculum challenges, resource gaps, low awareness, emotional detachment and limited personal agency. To inspire pro-environmental behaviours among students, enhancing environmental education in various disciplines to address gender, age and grade level variations, along with proper content integration of deforestation and climate change issues, promoting problem-solving approaches, strengthening extracurricular activities such as environmental clubs, exposing students to media, fostering partnerships for place-based learning initiatives, organizing workshops, incorporating localised and experiential learning and providing teachers with specialised training and resources are acclaimed.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on commons thinking and recent turns in geographical literature to the idea of commoning as a post-capitalist response to the managing of needs and resources, this paper addresses keeping warm as a human need that can be met collectively. Through empirical research in ‘warm spaces’, which are community-led responses to the growing problem of energy poverty in the United Kingdom, the paper reframes typical understandings of energy poverty as an individual or household problem by demonstrating the value of more collective responses. Community warm spaces in Devon were visited over the winter of 2022–2023, and qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with both providers and users. Using this evidence, we demonstrate that community warm spaces can also combat loneliness and isolation, providing a cross-benefit to simply staying warm. Energy poverty and food insecurity are also closely linked, and these spaces tended to address multiple needs that were exacerbated by high costs of living, poor housing and low incomes. The key contribution of this paper is that energy poverty should be framed as a social rather than an individual challenge, bringing commons-based approaches into the discourse on tackling energy poverty.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/geo2.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, more-than-human care has emerged as a concept at the intersection of feminist debates about care and post-humanist discussions around the more-than-human. Although more-than-human care is increasingly referenced in the literature, it remains sparsely situated in the Global South. This article investigates the concept's potential to articulate care relations that can foster more plural, respectful, and transformative biodiversity conservation practices in local communities. Our research is situated in an artisanal fishing village in Brazil, where we engaged with both human and non-human members of the community to engage with their perspectives on more-than-human care and its relevance to their local concerns. From our analysis, four key dimensions emerged: the vital and everyday nature of caring; the relationality between humans and non-humans; reciprocity; and the fostering of flourishing for as many as possible. Our core argument is that the interaction between community practices and care theory enables new perspectives that center on daily and reciprocal care relations often overlooked in mainstream conservation approaches. By situating the conceptual potential of more-than-human care within the Global South, we underscore its ability to make the invisible visible and to inspire action for transformative change.</p>","PeriodicalId":44089,"journal":{"name":"Geo-Geography and Environment","volume":"11 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11626092/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142808206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
