 Towards truly global and decolonial ecologies of knowledge? The question of climate changeAnna M. Agathangelou Chapter 6 in A Modern Guide to Globalization, 2025, pp 144-170 from Edward Elgar Publishing Abstract: Emergent issues such as climate change portend eco-disasters of unthinkable proportions. These looming disasters produce anxieties, invoke ideas of emergency, and amplify injustice, not containing it but transitioning it. In this chapter, I articulate an analytical framework on the relationship of the structure of time, coloniality/racism, and planetary in/justice orders. I engage with activist Bill McKibben and his notion of confused time and space and his understanding of crisis/emergency as an exceptional moment. I turn to an IPCC report (2022), showing how a focus on a notion of geologic transition as an entanglement with temporal notions, such as emergency, urgency, crisis, adaptation and justice, cannot provide a way out of the environmental decimations. Finally, in conversation with Frantz Fanon, I ask what it would require to introduce invention into planetary justice. I conclude with some ideas about decolonial planetary justice as a kind of radical existence that cannot be transcended, transitioned, or conquered.
