NATURE SWAPPED AND NATURE LOST: Biodiversity Offsetting, Urbanization and Social Justice
The event is part of Cycle of meetings 2023 ‘OSMOSIS’ TOWARDS NEW THEORIZATIONS AND TALES OF THE URBAN
of the PhD programme in Urban and Regional Development (URD).
This book unravels the profound implications of biodiversity offsetting for nature-society relationships and its links to environmental and social inequality. Drawing on people’s resistance against its implementation in several urban and rural places across England, it explores how the production of equivalent natures, the core promise of offsetting, reframes socionatures both discursively and materially transforming places and livelihoods.
