From the yellow vests movement in France in 2018 to the farmers' protests in 2019 and 2024, peripheral populations across Europe are increasingly voicing discontent over society’s misrecognition of their socio-economic struggles and of the unequal burdens of climate action. In an era where feelings of being “left behind” are instrumentalised by exclusionary, anti-green political parties, a nuanced understanding of rural subjectivities and material experiences of green transitions is essential. The session aims to equip participants with theoretical tools and empirical insights to grasp the plurality of injustice claims that are voiced in reaction to current and anticipated impacts of environmental policies on rural landscapes and land-based livelihoods. It underscores the importance of recognizing this complexity to foster pathways toward more plural, just, and sustainable futures.
