Contributing scholars engaging with Southern African contexts challenge hegemonic climate paradigms. They employ pluralistic strategies that respect diverse epistemologies and advance decolonised discourse. Drawing from the humanities and social sciences, this multidisciplinary collection demonstrates how moving beyond dominant frameworks enables more inclusive approaches to environmental governance rooted in local epistemologies. The volume reveals the importance of understanding environmental justice through postcolonial perspectives. Essential reading for researchers, scholars, and students committed to transformative climate governance, this work emphasises the urgent need to honour diverse epistemologies while addressing environmental challenges in ways that resist colonial impositions on climate discourse.
