Abstract
For centuries, colonialism violently remade the world to comport with the emerging global philosophy of white supremacy. This process structured relationships between groups of people and the land around new, interlocking hierarchies of race, gender, class, indigeneity, and epistemology. Today, some six decades after the formal end of colonialism, the relationship between people and the earth is still shaped by this colonial order. As a result, our ability to manage complex global problems like climate change and biodiversity loss is affected by a colonial legacy that continues to limit how we understand and value nature, overexploits the natural environment, and perpetuates violence against marginalized people. Nevertheless, decades of activism by Indigenous and other marginalized people have indicated the possibility of a shift toward just, decolonial governance in climate and other areas.
