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. The book draws
on theories and concepts from human geography, political ecology,
and Marxist political economy, and aims to shift the trajectory of
the current literature on the interplay between offsetting,
urbanization and the neoliberal reconstruction of conservation and
planning policies in the era following the 2008 financial crash. By
shedding light on offsetting's contested geographies, it offers a
fundamental retheorization of offsetting capable of demonstrating
how offsetting, and more broadly revanchist neoliberal policies,
are increasingly used to support capitalist urban growth producing
socially, environmentally and geographically uneven outcomes.
Nature Swapped and Nature Lost brings forward an understanding of
environmental politics as class politics and sees environmental
justice as inextricably linked to social justice. It effectively
challenges the dystopia of offsetting's ahistorical and asocial
non-places and proposes a radically different pathway for gaining
social control over the production of nature by linking struggles
for the right to the city with struggles for the right to nature
for all.
