Abstract
Many different languages and disciplines are involved in Asian research on environmental conflicts. Linguistic diversity combined with the varied economic, legal, political and social contexts of the Asian continent gives birth to myriad debates about environmental crime and harm. Borders between disciplines are blurred and take different shapes depending on the linguistic and academic contexts. As a result of this situation, the many resources, knowledge and debates developed in various ‘bubbles’ hardly cross disciplinary and linguistic borders. With this special issue, we hope to contribute to unlocking doors and building bridges between the myriad Asian knowledge traditions about environmental conflict, crime and harm. Also, we aim to open the door for readers (be they scholars or practitioners) to engage with the debates and collaborate in addressing instances of environmental degradation in Asia. Finally, we want to remove the obstacles that separate the multi-disciplinary Asian scholars working on environmental crime from the green criminologists around the world.

Green criminology is the study of harm, crimes and conflicts relative to the environment and ways to respond to them
Green criminology can be more than that; green criminology can be the global platform that brings together insights from previously dissociated disciplines
Summary
David Rodríguez Goyes Antonio Nariño University, Colombia; University of Oslo, Norway Orika Komatsubara Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Japan Laÿna Droz Basque Centre for Climate Change, Spain Tanya Wyatt Northumbria University, United Kingdom. As a result of this situation, the many resources, knowledge and debates developed in various ‘bubbles’ hardly cross disciplinary and linguistic borders With this special issue, we hope to contribute to unlocking doors and building bridges between the myriad Asian knowledge traditions about environmental conflict, crime and harm. It intends to destabilise Western dominance by highlighting the ideas inherent in other epistemic traditions; this is accomplished by making voices from Asian sociocultural contexts accessible to an English reader Such a doubly disruptive work has proven to be something similar to Young’s (2011: viii) ‘criminological imagination’, as knowledge production has flourished amid ‘rapid change and environments of diversity’,1 and all the articles included in this collection make a unique contribution to green criminological knowledge
